Last evening Sile’s French choir gave an excellent performance of The Seven Last Words of Christ by Dubois in the chapel of Chateau de Cassan.
It was a terrific performance, the choir were in great voice and Dubois’ piece, as well as having some rousing chorus singing has a baritone, tenor duet to cherish.
I have, of course, become involved too with the choir so was checking in the tickets at the door.

After the performance we noticed a Dublin registered car in the car park and that is of sufficient rarity here, at this time of the year, that I went and introduced myself.
It was a couple, much like ourself, recently retired and now hopping between homes in Ireland and France. Their French house was in Pezenas, about a half an hour from us.
Despite their D reg car they were from Glamire in Cork and yes, you are there before me, himself and myself were in the same class in Christian Brothers College in Cork all through secondary school.

The smallness of this world constantly amazes.
