And there we were - gone

Every year the post lady comes with her calendars and I dutifully buy one.  They are actually quite useful.  This year however something has changed.  On the page where the gaily coloured flags of the European Union are displayed, one is missing.  Did the La Poste have inside information about the election, were they eerily confidant that the UK would leave this year or is it that they can't wait to get rid of us?  Who knows?  The French love the British flag and you see it adorning t shirts, bags, luggage, even the backside of jeans, although that may have other connotations that have nothing to do with love.

An old golfing friend sent an e mail asking for my new address.  She couldn't believe that I am still living in the same place even though several years have passed since I moved to this house.  Not that I haven't been tempted many times to just up sticks and b......... off.  This year I believe is the year, I just have to figure out where to go.

French railway workers are striking 2 days in 5 for the next few months in protest against Macron's reforms.  To launch these strikes huge protests were organised in Paris but oh dear the strikers couldn't get there because the trains weren't running due to strike action.

stormy weather

Last evening there was a huge storm, lightning,  wind and torrential rain in Agra. This morning the devastation was clear. No power, 50 dead and hundreds of trees down. On the way to the taj mahal  I could see crushed cars, flooded streets  and so many trees.   Then out of all this destruction I arrived at the taj mahal. It doesn't matter how many pictures you see  they cannot compare to seeing this exquisite building rising up above you.  I have waited so long to see it and  it  is far better than I could have imagined.
