Off
to Saint Jean d’ Angeley market today for what will probably be our last visit.
While having a coffee in our regular bar, a group of Roman soldiers marched
past. Shields, swords, helmets – the full kit, led by a centurion. That’s a bit
strange. They haven’t been here since good old Julius in 52 BC.
Our
interest was piqued, so we headed to the town square where we found the Romans
as part of a large gathering of all the associations and clubs of St Jean
d’Angeley, including it appears, the historical re-enactment mob. Certainly an
active community. It reminded us a bit of Mornington 40 years ago.
In
between light showers we finished our estate duties with some shrub removal and
painting the gate. Flashy is still trying to burn the apple tree stump. He’s
now experimenting with bags of charcoal. Apparently, this burns hotter than wood.
