Claret
is a large village nestling up high around its church. It has several
brand new spotlessly clean car parks shaded by plane trees, a little square
with green and lavender blue benches which look just right, a covered
wash-house and picturesque sloping streets, gardens
perfumed with lavender, a fine perched church,unpretentious houses brightened
up with brown, green and blue shutters ... and of course a few old barns
just waiting to be restored! Horses in a field, an old lady enjoying the
cool evening air in her doorway, and doing the crossword puzzle at the
same time, a sleeping dog ... at Claret, life carries on its peaceful
course!
