Saint Jean de Losne hosts a boat blessing ceremony every June which is called the Pardon (as in forgiveness and not in hard of hearing).
The town springs to life with a fairground, a market, fireworks and a gathering of boats bedecked with flags.
This year Lobelia went to the party(alas minus Shiv who had gone to Devon to see her parents) and was the belle of the ball.
She was duly blessed by the local priest. Flowers were thrown and wine awarded.
