In my French class we visited Marquéze (I wrote about it I think) and the other day we saw a film about it..It was fascinating..During the 19th century, people lived in Marquéze which is in the middle of a forest..They had to cultivate the land by hand, collect the hay some by hand others by some machinery? and then turn it in to grain, flour and finally bread.
They had sheep, and the shepherds used stilts so they could keep an eye on their flock.
It was back breaking work, don't think my back would have survived!!
We have been told we have to put on a show in May!!SOOOOOOOOOO glad they've given us plenty of warning!!
Think I'll put in to play a sheep..it'll be a doddle..must perfect my baaaa
