apres weekend

 Friday night we trouped out to Couiza, where the Consort de violes du Conservatoire de Perpigan-Mediterranee were playing pavanes and gaillardes galore. Surprisingly full of event, like the loss of one of the students score :) and charming withal. Church in Couiza totally amazing, every inch covered in decorative stencils as was the style hereabouts. The photo shows the church before the concert began, there were in fact about fifty culture vultures in the audience.


Afterwards home to a dinner prepared by Ryan and Alicia, wahey! Joined by Janie and Pam who have been here a couple of weeks and depart soonish. I forgot to photograph the dinner but here they are, resplendent in the market. Some of us sat up late finishing up bottles and some of us are too old to carry on like this - Sunday was a delicate time for me.

 

It was John who pointed out this shrine to La Poste. Its in Antugnac where we went vide-greniering between showers. Afterwards Bob drove John to the airport, Mandy and I hung about concluding at the palace of fun, Ty Rex. Now we are all packing up - Blighty calls. Back in a week.
