Serre Chevalier is full of unique and special characters, old loons, who all have feelings in their water about this or that. You can choose the pre-snow prediction you most like from the countless prognostications floating around the pub. One might say it will be a hot winter with lots of snow; one that it will be cold with snow in Jan or March and another that it will fall every day.
Well this week’s old crone prophecy is that we will have a summer of wind. This information was derived at by seeing it is a bit windy at the moment and extrapolating that it will therefore blow all the summer.
The wind was quite warm, but the other night it dropped to -2 oC, threatening my courgettes.
It will be nice to see, well perhaps interesting is a better word, if the wind keeps up, I’m not certain it can blow all summer.
The sun is bright and strong and once more the French have got some surprise public holidays – these ones might be something to do with the republic or some such. This is the part of May they call “le pont” proper and the all try and “profit un peu” from the bridge. It’s today and tomorrow, and as there is no school on Wednesday the kids have a five day break from school – it’s just crazy, not certain how real working parents survive – I guess the answer is blowing in the wind.
