We took a ride along to the outskirts of the nearby sous-préfecture this morning to refresh our firewood supply. Interesting process: you drive in and on to the weighbridge, then motor along to the wood pile, fill up your car with logs and have it weighed again, paying for the difference. A spot of healthy exercise comes free of charge - between us, we've shifted a good half-ton of mixed chestnut and holm oak. Twice.
It was ex-neighbour Geno who put us on to this supplier. He has since left the village and was due to open his new restaurant in Tucson, AZ, a couple of nights ago. Alas, he was stricken with a kidney stone on the night, and had to cancel. To judge by his facebook entry, however, he seems to be back on form again.
