Since we came back in the area, I wanted to visit some old friends from many years ago. So yesterday we decided to go and collect chestnut near the house where I grew up and to visit the old farmer who was our landlord at the time.
He is a widower now, and getting older : he is 83. It was good to see him and I think it was a good surprise for him. We chatted for a while. As usual, we were received in the kitchen. That’s the room where guests are usually received. We saw one of his daughters who live near us, we learned.
We had collected chestnuts before going but didn’t have much success. They had either been eaten by wild boars or there weren’t many this year.
There’s a few more people I want to visit. Well do this another time.
