Our French neighbours Valerie and Jean-Charles invited us to the local organic markets. They are both retired journalist. I wish I could remember all the details of Valerie love of sewing, knitting, crocheting and tapestries which lead them into an incredibly interesting life analyzing the art and writing several books on the subject. Publishers couldn’t understand what she wanted and refused to work with her so they went ahead and published their own books with great success. They created galleries with exhibitions that turned what they didn’t expect into huge interest from thousands of people. A well known Gothic Church in France allowed them to display an ancient treasure, their alter rug. Gothic churches were built between the 12th and 16th century, so goodness know how old this rug was. They turned a hobby into a successful business which they recently sold. Now its time to enjoy the grandchildren, their holiday house by the sea and all the new adventures with their new yacht will bring.
