On Sunday morning we went to church in Orange. It was a “seeker service” with a Gospel group and a presentation about slavery and Negro Spiritual/Gospel music. Very interesting, though not really a worship service as such. Simon behaved very well, and I took him out towards the end to feed him. They had a really nice little room for babies, with a basin in it and everything.
We left straight after church to drive to the Auvergne, stopping once on the way for us to eat, and once for Simon. It was hot in the car, and he did get quite agitated at one stage, so we stopped for some fresh air which cheered him up!
In the Auvergne we were staying with the parents of Agnès, who was my penfriend when I was a teenager. I first went to stay with her and her family in the village of Marat when I was 17, and have been there several times since. Agnès now lives in Lyon with her husband and kids, but they were in Marat just for the weekend, and hadn’t left before we got there, which was great!
On Monday we had a relaxing day, just went out for a walk in the afternoon, and then we left again early on Tuesday morning.
