We have had some 20 centimetres of Snow bringing the region to a halt, even Marseilles had 40 centimetres the first time in over 20 years!
On Wednesday, just as darkness fell I received a call from our neighbour to say his 8 year old son had fallen in the snow and thought he had broken his wrist. Knowing I had a 4 x 4 he was calling on me to take them to hospital in Apt. Not so easy as we are on high ground, it took the two of us almost half an hour just to dig our way up the drive way out of our house . The route to Apt had not been cleared and despite this I was over taken on route - The french sure now how to drive (not!)
It turned out he had indeed broken his wrist and spent the night in hospital before being operated on yesterday morning. Good job for the 4 x 4!

Hi
Loved your snow pics, especially the town centre. Where in provence were they taken.
We are in St. Remy and we took some photos but they are not as good as yours.

Hi Beverley, We live in Saint Saturnin Les apt, the pictures were in Marseilles. It was quite a snow fall. How long have you been in St Remy?
