\par 
\par THE BLUE COAST - THE HILLS}{\f1\fs22\ul 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 Wendy took the "C\'f4te Bleue little train", a service which runs all year round along this wild coastline.  It was the Italia
ns, not the French, who opened this train line at the beginning of the last century, and as a result, tourism developed.  However, this corner of Southern France remains unspoilt - with rocky slopes, the inebrating smell of the pine trees, lavender and he
rbs.  But the summer sun isn't always friendly.  The pine trees burn very quickly and when they're alight, they can reach temperatures of up to 1000\'b0
, with terrible consequences.  Out of desperation, a group of local inhabitants set out on a mission - to save their countryside!
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Man 1:}{\f1\fs22   It's a passion. I love nature.  We're a small group, we get along very well and we have wonderful Saturday mornings.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Man 2:}{\f1\fs22   It's done in the spirit of taking part in the preservation of our heritage, our hillsides.  There used to be fields of olive and almond trees here.  We don't want it to disappear altogether. 
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 Old fashioned methods often work the best.  In the past, the locals
\par grew trees on the terraces like these.  Today, stone by stone, the volunteers are restoring them with great care.  They're planting olives, apricots and oaks - which are tougher than pine trees.  If they catch fire, they burn 
more slowly.  But it's a huge task.   
\par }{\f1\fs22 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Man 3:}{\f1\fs22   Even if our association worked every weekend for 20 years we could only cover 5% of our natural heritage. 
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   That can't be true!
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Man 3:}{\f1\fs22   So jobs need to be created  so that there's regular work and continuous restoration and reforestation.  In the end, there'd be an improvement in our eco-system.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par 
\par Group of locals volunteers:}{\f1\fs22   To our hills!
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   To the hills! Cheers!
\par 
\par }{\b\i\f1\fs22 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 A toast to their sweaty forheads and the conservation of this unique countryside!
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 This isn't the only thing that's special in these hills.  In olden times, the village of Rove was priveleged enough to have 4000 goats.  Today, there's nothing left but one solitary herd.  Andr\'e9
 Gouiran's decided to continue this tradition.}{\b\f1\fs22 
\par 
\par Andr\'e9 Gouiran:}{\f1\fs22   It's a job you have to love.  It's like taking religious vows.  You're called to it, and to stay with it you need passion.  It's good, but it's restricting.  You have to tend the animals every day.
\par 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 This species of goat is unique to these hills.  Andr\'e9 has 200 - and he knows each of them by name!  In the past, everybody earned a living looking after the goats.  Andr\'e9
's family have been goatherds for 500 years.  And today his sons want to continue the tradition. 
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   Are you pleased that your sons want to be goatherds?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Andr\'e9 Gouiran:}{\f1\fs22   Yes, very pleased
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   Why?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Andr\'e9 Gouiran:}{\f1\fs22    Because there's the hope  that this job which has been going on for centuries in Le Rove, will continue.  It's a traditional job.  And I like to believe it has a futur
e.  I think at some point people will come back to their roots.  I'm not backward-looking.  Progress is all very well, but you mustn't forget everything.  You have to be reasonable.
\par 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 Andr\'e9 is so concerned by the adverse effects of 20}{\i\f1\fs22\super th }{\i\f1\fs22 century progress on the environment, that he's written a poem on the subject;
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Andr\'e9 Gouiran:}{\i\f1\fs22   
\par }{\f1\fs22 Soul of sheperd and heart of wolf,
\par Hunter in the past,
\par At odds with a society of fools,
\par Untamed, half wild
\par On my guard I am.
\par Good luck to those who in this artificial world are subdued.
\par Eyes open before the inevitable:
\par Burning forests, polluted seas,
\par Impotent and incapable,
\par We are the witnesses of reality
\par For ransack and profit
\par our earth's threatened.
\par Visions of realism
\par Instinct of animal in danger,
\par Despite modernism, 
\par Values engraved for ever.
\par Seize the day, wild horses, 
\par To gallop on the plain,
\par Nature and pastures 
\par Are man's wealth.
\par 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 
\par Every evening , Andr\'e9 milks his herd.  This can take up to  three hours\'85  that's why Wendy offered to help him.
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22  I'll try. So I squeeze.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Andr\'e9 Gouiran:}{\i\f1\fs22   }{\f1\fs22 Press hard. There you are
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   Sorry! Sorry!
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par 
\par Andr\'e9 Gouiran:}{\i\f1\fs22   }{\f1\fs22 That's it!}{\b\f1\fs22 
\par 
\par 
\par Wendy:  }{\f1\fs22 That's good. Doesn't it hurt them?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Andr\'e9 Gouiran:}{\i\f1\fs22   }{\f1\fs22 No, no
\par 
\par 
\par }{\i\f1\fs22 Fresh, warm goat's milk.  All sorts of cheeses attempt to copy Brousse du Rove.  But, this is the real thing.  Andr\'e9's wife, Marie-Ange, makes the Brousse cheese - it's a family business.
\par }{\f1\fs22 
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 Andr\'e9 Gouiran:}{\i\f1\fs22  }{\f1\fs22  }{\i\f1\fs22  }{\f1\fs22 Do you want to try it plain?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Wendy:  }{\f1\fs22 No, with sugar
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Andr\'e9 Gouiran:}{\i\f1\fs22   }{\f1\fs22 It's not very strong.  Go on, you can try it.
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   It's good
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Andr\'e9 Gouiran:}{\i\f1\fs22    }{\f1\fs22 Do you really like it?
\par 
\par }{\b\f1\fs22 
\par Wendy:}{\f1\fs22   Yes, I like it.
