My is Veronique. I live in a small village in the south of , near the Pyrenees. Since my husband died six years ago, I have been on my own.

My children left the a long time ago to find work in cities. Marie in Toulon and Pierre works Grenoble. There are very few people left in my village now.

I do not see my very often, but my daughter phones me twice a week. I do not feel because I visit my friends everyday. I often them when I go to the bakery or to the market.
