    Morning all, our cycle race took part last night and half of the time there was torrential rain. The people in the team cars were applauding the spectators huddled beneath their brollies. It finished without mishap, but with very wet riders.

    The French press are making a lot of noise about the request to change the name of a hamlet. &#8220;La Mort aux Juifs&#8221; can be translated as either &#8220;Death to Jews&#8221; or &#8220;The death of the Jews&#8221;. The hamlet consists of one farm and two houses. How the name came about no one is very certain, but it has existed for certain since the middle ages and probably before. The most likely explanation is that some Jews were killed there, but I think it is one of those we will never know questions. The pressure to change the name is coming from outside the country, but the lady mayor is not prepared to spend the money that it would involve. At a time when there is conflict in the Middle East, it seems to me to be a subject that didn't need headlines.

    No danger Dave, Canaries chances of chirping Hornets into submission today are about on a par with Delia Smiths chances of winning Miss World.....

    A good village féte yesterday. Around 8,000 people came into the commune for the event and 3,000 of them wanted a portion of my frites. Five hours of solid shoveling them into barquettes before I went off to watch the open air show. A great live band who had the place really rocking. Shame they didn't have chance to do their encore as the rain started and there was a rapid removal of the electrical equipment. Still the spectacular firework display went ahead without mishap and was well worth &#8364;5 of anyone's money. About a hundred people from the commune assist in putting the event on each year, not bad when you think there are only 186 of us in total.
