Cruzy hits the headlines again

On Monday 16th June at 4am, someone decided to throw two Molotov Cocktails into our little village bar.

Thankfully the fire alarm sounded and the lad running the place woke up and managed to put the fires out before they spread. Apparently had the flames reached the plastic ceiling the entire place, would have gone up in smoke in minutes.The guy running the bar said in the local paper that he could not think of any reason for such an attack. Well, we who gossip have come up with lots of reasons... not justified, but it helps pass the time. Disgruntled customer? Jealous competitor? The little old lady who is fed up of losing her husband to the bar each night? The list goes on, send your suggestions on a postcard!Customers are not really a problem for bars in Summer as the villages are all full, but in Winter finding customers is a little more difficult. Why anyone finds it difficult I can not imagine. I'd rather be in a nice warm bar than sitting in an old house without central heating any day!


Moving on to brighter news, Alan is playing in a concert in Capestang this weekend as part of the Fete de Music, which is a national event. Many towns and villages open their doors to musicians and we believe all the events are free. He asks that we all keep our fingers crossed for him as this is his first solo performance since he was 17 years old… and that was quite some time ago.
