Jim,
You'll be pleased to hear that the polling station at Epeigne was open at 8.00 am on the dot this morning for voting in the second round of the Cantonal elections. Seems somne of the voters may have forgotten about the change in hour as we had only 6 voters in the first hour. Things had picked up when I knocked off at 10.30 though and we're on target to beat last Sunday's 56.3% turnout.
Mark. Thanks. Very impressive. Where Epeigné leads La France invariably follows!
