Sunday, March 19

In the land of the gods, one will always find angels....

In this area, Saturday night is often the night when the locals will go listen to music -- be it the Celtic (Breton/Irish) music at the Le Petit Loup, or the Mozart piano recital in the Issigeac Church, or the Sound of a Thousand Choirs echoing through the valley, from every village, every church, every group of angelic voices.........

And Sunday may well be when you wake up to the droning and reverberating sound of herds of Harley Davidsons and Suzuki's and Yamaha's, as another kind of angel come riding on their gleaming steel steeds through your village on their way to some or other get-together in the region........

Last night saw a thousand choirs along the length and breadth of France performing in aid of RETINA, the organization which works at combatting eye diseases, and I had the pleasure of attending one of these events, where five choirs from this area tooks turns in entertaining a full 16th century church at Le Buisson. We listened to Dalmation traditional songs, to Serge Gainsbourg's genius, to Ronsard's poetry and Handel's opulent crescendos.

And this morning thousands of motorbike enthusiasts from the area came through Lalinde on their way to Le Bugue for a day of friendship and shared passion for their bikes.
