OUR LIFE IN CHALABRE: An American Expat in the South of France

WELCOME TO WEASEL'S WORT! (May 2010) Our fellow neo-Chalabrois, Lord Peg-Leg and Lady Mole of East Mordor, have bought a lovely garden plot just outside the village, christened Weasel's Wort (because this is where they used to make alcohol by mashing weasels during the Dark Ages), which is also the riverrbank location of Port-Chalabre, from which one can kayak down the river Hers to Toulouse, Bordeaux and beyond. While the Lord and the Lady of Weasel's Wort are absent, we, humble peasants, have been tasked with keeping an eye on the weasels... The Weasel Wort's Water Tank and behind it the Port Chalabre docking area... Our modest tomato experiment! The future site of Weasel's Wort Crystal Palace... Fantasia, the Happy Nectarine Tree... The other end of Weasel's Wort...
