RIP Hazel Evans

We are very sad to say that Hazel Evans, the co-founder of Arts in Provence died on May 1st, aged 88.  Many people will know her from her hosting of the welcome drinks on Saturday evenings, an occasion that she never lost her enthusiasm for.  She started by running painting and writing courses as an experiment with her friend Anne Christie in 1989, but since she was working full time as a journalist she felt her talents lay else where and David and I took it on from her in 1990.

She was always happy to be in Les Bassacs enjoying the social round, and entertaining everyone with her many anecdotes.  She will be missed by all who knew her!
