September 2025
Hello everyone,
Retour en Auvergne !
After a pleasant stay in Cairns, in a region renowned among other things for its koalas and papayas, and after a short stopover at Thursday Island, Banana Split left Australia. It is now in a marina in Indonesia where Arnaud, who has often sailed aboard it with or without me, will join it in a few weeks to take it on new adventures.
I flew back to Paris, with a stopover in the magnificent Changi Airport (in Singapore), just long enough to enjoy a Singapore Sling and see that Angèle has become a superstar there!
And then we're back at our farm in Auvergne, where a terrible heatwave and drought have wiped out the thousands of California poppies that adorned the rockery at the foot of our house. Despite the weather, we still had a beautiful harvest of multicolored tomatoes!
And then, in the midst of all this drought, a sudden, torrential downpour (135 mm all at once!) filled our little pond to overflowing.
On September 5, I was invited by the Gordes town hall to present an excerpt from our film on the Caribbean. We will be presenting the full film in October with Altair (former members of Connaissance du Monde) in St Gilles Croix de Vie and Royan. If you are in the area, come see us!
I’m also pleased to tell you that our online shop works again :all our films : are now again available for download !
And I wish you courage for the coming return to work.
