Alphabe Thursday

I am joining Jenny Matlock for Alphabe Thursday. Today's letter is 'H'.

My 'H' word is HAMEAU, the French word for hamlet. I live in a hameau, there are 6 houses together and we belong to a small village with 260 inhabitants (including the 15 hameau's). There is a church, a small postoffice , a municipal hall and a village hall where they organize about 6 meals a year, for the inhabitants.

Here they say that we live in 'la cambrousse', they mean that here in this French countryside, there is nothing and nothing. There is only rural tranquility
These pictures of a part of the hameau were made last summer.

  6. France looks wonderful, and I would love to get there someday! So you never heard of Hugh Hefner? I guess you would not being in France...but yes he is well known here in the US...and has had many girlfriends for many years and he rotates them three at a time...they move in his mansion for a couple of years, then they get older and move on and he gets younger ones....not a great man, but interesting to say the least! Have a wonderful weekend!
