Il faut que je vous raconte ce qui s’est passé samedi : comme chaque année, un petit groupe de personnes dont Claire fait partie organise un marché aux fleurs le samedi avant la fête des mères.
I have to tell you what happened on Caturday : like every year, a small group of people, including Claire, organize a flower market on the Saturday before Mother’s Day.
The flowers are beautifully presented, and it is also an opportunity at noon to share a friendly meal with a good glass of local wine.
But this year, the market opened in the cold and under a heavy rain. The nice month of May ! Fortunately, people still braved the bad weather and started coming.
Suddenly, around 11h30, a stormy wind arose : it was so violent that the tent that housed the market began to rise, and the canvas began to tear. All those present activated : some clung to the structure of the tent to prevent it from flying while others dismantled the canvas, others sheltered the flowers and the meal.
In the end, everybody was in a little room next door. The mood quickly came back : no one was injured, and there was no damage to be deplored, except a torn tent and a few broken flowers.
The storm calmed down in the meantime, but the weather remained very uncertain all weekend.
All’s well that ends well !
that looks so beautiful!!! and we are glad the evil storm went away after a short while…how awful when the weather starts to ruin such a wonderful event…
Those flowers are very nice.
Good to hear they survived that big wind and rain storm.
Nice too theat the meal went ahead

The flowers are lovely. I am glad everyone enjoyed the event despite the storm.
That sounds scary! We’re glad everything turned out okay!
What a frightening thing to happen on such a happy day but it seems with everyone pulling together, all was saved and the day enjoyed in spite of the weather!
Hugs, Pam

What a lovely idea, and a marvellous display of both flowers and camaraderie in the face of natures wrath.
It looks like there will have been a lot of happy mothers the following Sunday.
