Not much headway


Focalplane

184 views

The past week has seen glorious weather so the focus has not been on searching out potential land sites. However, we did do a couple of walks and on one of them we found a small property that has been turned into what the French would term a "recreational plot" with shelter/cabin, mown grass and stone lined borders. It was easy to imagine an 0 gauge track winding its way around the plot.

 

The way forward may be a bit tricky, though, as the area is a Regional Park with lots of "interdites" (forbiddens). The way forward remains to be restoring an authentic agricultural plot (with fruit/nut trees, etc.) and just happen to have a 0 gauge railway among it all.

 

Nothing comes easy!

Knowing the French over many years (but not too close up), I imagine there must be some rule somewhere that prohibits everything except what is expressly allowed on the principle: tout ce qui n'est pas autorise est defendu.

 

That of course is closely followed by the maxim: tout ce qui n'est pas interdit, est obligatoire. (I hope my grammar's right on those.)

 

It's an interesting idea. I'll be interested to hear how you get on. Will you try to get your local commune onside, or wait until one of your neighbours informs them what you are up to?
