I took this picture exactly a year ago, in the ile Madame. Dreading to think about what it must be like now…

un désastre… un massacre…
Hope all your chums over there are OK. Penfold and Tango have been without electricity for 3 days now and we had some damage down in the Algarve. Spookily the South coast of England wasn’t too bad …… all rather odd …….
Ta DP – everyone is ok, yet some people are now with no homes, business, oyster plants destroyed…strange when it is so close to home.
Kathia: Je suis ça de près, grosse boule dans la gorge quand on voit ces images
