As I begin to write this newsletter on the first day of July, it occurs to me that instead of moaning about the long queues on roads and in supermarkets, we should be looking forward to two months of breathing-space and rejoicing in the fact that it’s Summer. I may be in a minority here but I rather like the holiday atmosphere everywhere. Busy markets, bars and restaurants. The camp-sites are alive again. There’s music and animation – swooping swifts, chirping crickets, butterflies, dragonflies, grasshoppers ….. praying mantises!
Stag steals vegetables A stag has taken to coming into the village of Dorres in Cerdagne and helping himself to the produce in the local vegetable gardens. He’s been coming in for 2 or 3 years and is getting bolder and bolder.

He takes off whenever anyone tries to approach him.
Céret town council has recently appointed a private firm to run parking patrols, and locals who live and work in town and rarely move their cars were unpleasantly surprised to find that they’d disappeared.

Many people are encouraged by promises of good weather and historically I suppose this area has been blessed with sun from May to September! The holiday season is almost upon us. This is when we start mentally preparing ourselves for heavy traffic, crowded supermarkets, gridlock in our local market and the delightful sound of a mobylette revving up at 11.30 at night.
