  5. If you‘d know just How many times I encountered this sort of gathering while living in rural England, you‘d probably not even haven taken note…. We often wondered too!

    In France I observed that too, less often, but rather in a malevolent way. One instant in our personal life: I awaited the ppl from our insurance company about a claim for a very old collapsed stone wall and for the longest time I heard voices discussing at a distance to our house. It rained hard and we had our meeting on site about 20min after I heard the voices. When I went out, our claim was ‚discussed and settled‘ – between our insurance and the Mairie (the commune we lived in and which would have a 50% part to pay as the wall was separating a private lot and a steep border leading to a street)….. They had, previously to my meeting with OUR insurance, their meeting and already decided that it was entirely our ‚fault‘ that the 100yr old wall collapsed (in very heavy rain) and that neither our insurance nor the town was covering any of the costs…. Since that instant I‘m kind of weary of those gatherings without obvious inntent. Hence my ‚nodding‘ to Pete; it could be something that people wouldn‘t want to see.
