No - not me - a group that I go to on a Monday afternoon. We knit, crochet, sew, do canvas work etc. There aren't many of us - only 4 regulars - but it's good for a chat. After the meeting Maarit and I investigated a new shop in the square (run by English) selling gift-y stuff, and also doing some café trade. Called La Maison Bleue. It's good to see new places opening up - Le Dorat is lovely but, like many small French towns, dying a slow death as the young people move into the cities. There are very few shops, and the old ones are either houses now or offices for insurance firms or suchlike. I have considered opening a shop there myself, but it is really a bit far away - 1/2 hour by car - and fuel has just risen again...
The weather has been VERY mixed today - sunshine and violent rain, but the garden is still a bit dry and I have had to water everything this evening. I have my first gladiolus just about in flower...
