Les Tourettes this summer - Tour de France were within 10 miles in Rancon, nature in abundance with the Black Kite and Booted Eagle frequent visitors in the fields, Woodpeckers continued to rap on the acacia trees but fewer green lizzards and more deer! A family of Sangliers were evicted from the nearby sweetcorn fields close to the Tumulus. Overall a very dry summer with only one damp day between June and September! PS Wales did well in the Euros!!
