Nous sommes le vendredi vingt trois septembre

We have never seen such troubled times around the world and building here in France.
God help us next year when we go into a build up to an election. Those of you who do not like our support of refugees, be aware that if the FN gain any significant results our life here will be much diminished. The FN do not like us and we may no longer be able to claim our EU status.
There are haters out there French and English,  sad people who because their lives are so shallow and
do not recognise we are all humans on this earth, try to hurt others.

I noticed Malc did a post on his timeline on facebook about an experience yesterday.

"A perfectly nice lunch today at Verfeil was spoiled when some ex-pat person decided to interrupt our conversation with a third party, remarking to Val that “some people hate you” and “why don’t you get a life?”
Now we know that what we do trying to help others doesn’t always go down well, but what we do is our concern and in no way harms this ignorant and arrogant person. Our life is full and fulfilled, probably more so than sitting in a bar all afternoon getting pi**ed on a regular basis. We know that putting your head above the parapet risks getting shot at and we accept that there are other points of view. But almost all our detractors use rude, sometimes obscene, and aggressive language and personal attacks.
Frankly this demeans them more than it hurts us, as they are almost always racist and xenophobic. Even odder when it comes from those purporting to make their lives in a foreign land (ie France)."
Val says again... saddies and bullies never win. Malc and I happy with each other, happy with what we do and just generally feel happy and blessed.
