France is starting to re-open and the shops are welcoming customers, putting in place the necessary health and safety restrictions. I'm pleased to say I picked up our masks from the mairie without having to provide too many pieces of paper. Many thanks to everyone who has been making these masks.
So, businesses are beginning to get back on their feet - but not before we have a jour ferie, this one is L'ascension and it always falls on a Thursday because it's 10 days before Pentecost Sunday. It marks the day that Jesus ascended to heaven following his crucifixion and resurrection. Please be aware that public services and many shops will be closed. Whether, as it's followed by a Friday, many businesses take the opportunity to 'faire le pont' is to be seen.
Whatever you do in your hundred km radius, keep well and stay safe.
Best wishes,
Helen
