Sunday
is warm from the outset. Some of us are leaving today. Jan and Hilde are
driving back to Belgium and Jan and Anke are flying home. Eric too is returning
to Liege.
No
olives to pick however we have to earn our keep. Those that are left form part
of the gardening work party and work away in the warm sun. Marc and I fix up a
section of electric fence to keep the Boar out of the olive grove; signs of
their impatient hoof-marks are everywhere.

We
enjoy a lovely wild boar casserole in the evening, made by the Mdm next door.

Monday,
an air of finality and it is not quite as warm. We are given the keys to the
house to lock up, as everyone else heads back to other parts of Europe to work.
A final walk around the fields later in the afternoon and we prepare to leave
dropping the latch and leaving the keys with Mdm. It was a wonderful week
warmed by the sun, the people and this part of France.

We enjoyed a weekend at Cabro d’Or, a
farmhouse that snuggles up to a shallow hill, a five-minute drive from Lorgues.
Lorgues is a commune in the Var department in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur
region in Southeastern France.
