Beautiful day than Saturday 12 June 2021!
Summer will start, the sun and the heat are present.
After the last few months so hard to cross, we are so happy to find ourselves...
At the initiative of the Nobilini Country, Geneva the Good Determined, President of our Cayenne, these family reunions can take place. Our Mother Bouyssous, Catalan Sensitivity of the Hearts, is held by family obligations but we have the great pleasure of seeing the arrival of a Niçoise delegation from four Countries led by Mother Gambier, Val de Loire the Support of Companions. A Companion from the Avignon Section also joined us.
With our Mother of Nice, we are therefore nine Companions with wives and companions at the foot of the mountain so dear to our hearts.
Some and some of us cannot climb into the cave for physical problems, our country president has planned to bring in a speaker specialist of the Holy Baume.
It is in casual dress but nevertheless with canes and colors that most of us start the ascent by the path of the « sofa » many of our elders have borrowed.
The good mood is present. There emerges an atmosphere of well-being, a true bowl of beneficial oxygen and welcome after the periods of restriction that we have experienced. At the top, we had a good time in the cave; We went to the Dominican brothers to sign the guest book and stamp our colors as our tradition requires.
It's 12:30 p.m. when, at the end of our descent, we meet the rest of the group with the speaker at the hosteller's bar.
The hour came from the gathering on Mother Belloumeau's grave.
It is then time for us to head to Rougiers, to Pays Debayle, Provençal the Resolute, which welcomes us in its beautiful garden for a country lunch .The picnic prepared by each one and "save from the bag" is highly appreciated. The discussions are going well, the companion songs too, we are living a real moment of happiness and lightness.
We are so serene and relaxed that we don't see the hour spinning, it's 7pm and everyone gets home.
A big thank you to our Mother Gambier and to the countries that made the trip. A Provençal the Resolute for her welcome in her magical garden and Geneva the Good Determined to organize this beautiful day.
Moments that undeniably strengthen our bonds of fraternity and which we wish to reproduce in 2022 !!
Jean-Marie Merly, Flamand la Fidelité, Companion Cook of the United Duties.
