This weekend, the Randonneurs’ Club organized yet another lunch. This meal was based on cassoulet. As we have learned by experience, we took plates, glasses, and cutlery. We arrived at 12 o’clock for apéros (bien sûr), which consisted of the usual wine, pastis, cassis and nibbles. The wine had been specially labeled for the group. (Note the screwy top – rather unusual here). 
Whilst we were having the apéros there was a “pop”. At first we thought that it was a bottle that had exploded, but on closer examination it proved to be a rifle shot that had come through the window. (Fortunately no-one was hurt). André Gol, the former Marie, was at the meal and immediately rang the appropriate people. Within 20 minutes, whilst we were eating our salad, the local Gendarme had arrived to assess the situation. We were very impressed considering it was Sunday lunchtime.
By the time the cassoulet was served, the SOCO had arrived. It was quite interesting watching them at work. Even Jean Claude Pistre, the new Marie arrived to see what had happened.
Cheese was next, either camembert or chèvre with honey. Finally, a variety of gateaux were served with the local Blanquette. We had a lovely meal and met even more people from the village.
