Visit from the French 2020
Alas, the visit from the French was postponed as soon as we understood that the virus would prevent us from getting together. We have invited them over for next year.
Here is a little exchange between the French President Annick Dumont and Liz Clowes the Chairman of Abbotskerswell Twinning;

Dear Annick
It should be the happiest day of the year with our alarm clock (reference to the picture of the cockerel) to take care of our French friends in Abbotskerswell. But alas, we are separated by this horrible virus.
We send you our love and best wishes and we look forward to talking to you about having you here next year at this time.

From Annick to Liz;
Hello Liz,
thank you for your lovely message.
Yes, we should have spent this extended weekend together with our English friends, it's very sad not to be able to meet all together.
This virus has done a lot of damage. No one has been touched here around me, as far as I know. I hope it is the same with you in the village and in all your families and friends.
In our family, everyone went back to work. And how does it work with you? Apparently you are still confined until the beginning of June, it's a long time.
Pending some more news from Twinning, take good care of all of you
Denis joins me to send you our regards
Have a great day to all of you

Bonjour Liz, merci de ton charmant message. Eh oui nous devions passer ce week end prolongé ensemble avec nos amis anglais, c'est bien triste de ne pas pouvoir se retrouver tous ensemble. Ce virus a beaucoup fait de dégâts. Ici autour de nous personne n'a été touché, à ce que je sache. J'espère qu'il en est de même chez vous au village et dans toutes vos familles et vos amis. Dans notre famille, tout le monde à repris le travail. Et chez vous comment cela se passe-t-il ? Apparemment vous êtes encore confinés jusqu'au début du mois de juin, c'est bien long. En attendant quelques autres nouvelles du Jumelage, prenez bien soin de vous tous Denis se joint à moi pour t'embrasser Bonne journée à tous Annick |
