Stars and sea

Last night was cold again, though unlike the south-east there was no snow. The sky was completely clear. On the way home from rehearsal I stopped the car in the vineyards and turned off the lights, to look at the mass of stars without getting frozen.

On Sunday Ginette went to Port Maubert (5 miles away) to see how the flood is receding. This stretch of coast didn't get into the tv reports because no-one died, but the water came right up into the houses. It wasn't so serious here, as there are no houses right on the sea's edge. The marsh was completely under water, and the roads to the ports were impassable: roads and ports are still being drained.
