A lot of noise going on downstairs - will have to go down and tell them to be quiet - again !!
Still, they're all getting on ! That's the important thing...

Princess and Printemps seemed better with the adjusted reins.  Princesse is now pulling her weight. Cerys and Jakki went out for a drive with the 3 French lads, Brendan, Maxime and Jonathan (djodjo) - they all enjoyed it and Brendan seemed to know a bit about carriage driving having done some in Brittany.  They learned a bit of English too !  coach coming, car behind, lorry etc.
Let's hope the weather improves soon.
We put up the curtains in 'my' carriage today - made by Christine Morlet, the English lady who lives down the road in the old station house at Gageron, near our base camp - thank you Chris and her patient hubby, Laurent.  My bed has been made in the carriage at Andre Palatre's insistence ( by him) with help from his brother, Henri and sister, Anne too - a family affair !.  Lucky old Jakki, a bed in a carriage with a mattres and folding too.  I have decided that I am going to set myself up as a gypsy fortune teller - charging people a fortune and hence padding the charity's finances.

Quick note from Jakki

All  the team now gathered in the Camargue at the Mas de Tourblanque, Gageron, Arles except for Harry, the driver.  Weather still bad.  Preparations underfoot.
