The 3 last notes
Since end of January 2022 we have a public bookcase in the village of Javerlhac.
There are not yet any books in English.
Happy new year
Yesterday I cleaned the fountain, fontaine des dame also named fontaine des amours. It nearly desappeared under weeds. For more cleaning an engin is needed.
