I have an Dutch aunt who married a French sheep farmer; they live in a small town called Saint-Affrique. Today I received a nice Holiday letter from her, accompanied by this fantastic postcard: I am told that these are not just any sheep; their milk is used to make Roquefort cheese. I like sheep (would it be wrong to say of shorn sheep, "they're cool"?), and these sheep clearly rock. In the background we see the awesome Viaduct of Millau, a modern wonder of the world; at 1,125 feet high it is more than 50 feet higher than the Eiffel Tower with a sweep of one and a half miles. I wonder if the sheep think it is as cool as I do :) |
