Last Friday we had (another) free concert in Corrèze, this time by ethno-rock band Chapitre V. The event was sponsored by the sports committee who were running the food and bar stands and the square was packed. We picked a spot on the very warm church steps, enjoyed a cool drink and waited as the band did final checks.

No more than 30 feet from this 'cacophony' was an elderly French lady who, with door wide open, continued to prepare her supper, you can see her house on the right hand side of the photograph below.
