Le Coq Sportif

Three of my nephew's poor hens have been picked off by a fox or a ferret during the night. The thought of the fright these hens had to endure will keep us all awake. We are, of course, waiting for the others to be taken when our backs are turned.

Our hens are safe for the moment, and here you see them enjoying a quick game of rugby - the major sport of the Languedoc. I'm just praying M. Reynard or M. Furet doesn't make his way down the hill to us to rob us of our prize (p)layers.

p.s. Neighbour Guillaume, if you want your ball back, it's where you kicked it.
