"La vie en grise", we can now sing this song every morning in a free adaptation of Edith Piaf's chanson. . . Rain, rain that stops in the course of the morning, sometimes earlier, sometimes later.

Our campsite offered a good infrastructure, so we could have breakfast in the dry. . . Coffee good, everything good 😅
