Possibly a reply intended for someone else, like a contractor, but seems a little short, in more ways than one. And what response could I give? ‘No artist but have done an occasional satisfactory job on a wall’? We decide to walk over. A little over a kilometre and it’s a lovely day - especially on the shady side of the street.
Meet a couple en route. The man begins by asking if we speak French. The truthful answer is a little less every year, but am Quebec born and bred. They’re pleased as their English probably slightly less than my French. So short discussion on what to see and how to get there. Realise later we haven’t found out where they’re from - probably France or they would have said.
And then the municipal office. Very pleasant and they do, like - almost - everyone else take credit cards.
Slightly different route home, which includes, as often in our village, a lovely ruin. Not necessarily ancient but an aesthetic pleasure.
