Ah! The sit row en .. At least it’s a bit classier 😉

Families who don’t pay the rent will see their dead relatives evicted and sent to the crematorium after which they are re-interred in potter’s field. Sad, but as rural France becomes more depopulated it’s increasingly common.

Yep. It’s flax. After the seeds harvested, the stems go for retting, a long soak in water, when the non-fibrous parts are rotted away. Then they are combed and dried to produce tow, which can be spun into linen. Tow is the color of blond hair, so when I was little, I was often called a tow-head, which I took as an insult because I didn’t think my head looked like a toe!

Hi,

Hi,
Agreed, except the Ami is a Citroen. For a while you could buy them in the local appliance store. They are electric, and don’t require a drivers license. Not for more than urban use.
Cheers

I agree. That's a nice detail that took some fancy shingling and planning.

Yes, this is France, but a Renault is always a “no-nault” Super cheap!
Think stapled dashboard components..🫣

However, Another illness ( flu, covid, etc) are already taking the places of TB. It is the evolution of germs, which we cannot stay ahead of . Enough..

The flower of Jesus..

We are just south of the Normandy landing beaches so the flags are in remembrance of the liberating armies.

Guess it depends on what the flower is.

And if she had lived 100 years later her TB might have been cured and she could have lived longer than 24 years.

Thank your husband for the information. It is really frustrating when you see something but cannot understand it.

Thanks. It was way far off across a field, but the 83x zoom was able to bring it right in.

I couldn't help noticeing the flags in all the pictures are British, French, USA and Canadian. Commerative of their liberation?
