Six Months in Provence

People

Before Tom and Anna went home, we took it in turns to take one of them out for a drink. The days are gloriously sunny and getting quite warm, and along with the sun out come the people of Manosque. Yes, they do exist!

It’s as though they’ve been hibernating and now, just as our thoughts are beginning to turn to Oxford, the rest of Manosque’s population is rubbing its collective eyes and stretching, ready for a long, hot summer.

So much orange!
I don’t know whether she’s waiting for a hot date or just touting for business. 

Old men on a bench
‘Course, when I were a lad all this was fields’

Knit one, perl one
Knit one, perl one

A walk in the park
Aww – innit sweet?

To be continued…

    Lovely photos, Jasper. Have you their permission to publish on the World Wide Web? I thought the last one might look uncomfortably like James and me.
    Meanwhile here in the UK we have a biting N wind and flurries of snow. Keep your longjohns at the top of your packing.
