Bleu blanc rouge

The commemoration of VE day took the usual form of bouquets and a speech at the war memorial. There are still differing opinions about how to wear your sash. Serge told his usual anecdotes about village happenings on 8 May 1945 (included our late neighbour Fernand and a friend climbing up the clock tower to fly the tricolore) and made a speech about the values of the Resistance. Then we all went to the bar for an apero and interesting conversations.

Yoga in the evening with T. We did some incredibly contorted poses which I think Eric must have made up himself, since no-one else could do them. Still, the dreamy meditation at the end was lovely, as always.
