Esperaza so far...

Wen is back  in St Ferriol, now with a years visa to escape the USA - 

We've had rain for a couple of days, gentle and welcome. Further south its been vicious and apocalyptic so blessings are being counted. On Monday around midday we had a magnificent flight of Vultures - some 30, wheeling over the town. Slightly ominous. I figure they are the new young being taking on a tour of their region...

Tuesday I braved the bus to Carcassonne and the rain was perfect, kept smokers off the streets and lowered car pollution so breathing was feasible. I'm experimenting with increasing my asthma drugs so some summer trips can perhaps be managed.

Yesterday Annie and Gus turned up!! Joy joy:) Pete is in Scotland, Theo and Freddy in Ireland where Annie and Gus will join them today. Such a quickie - speed gossip is becoming an art.
Finished the day at Tout-la with a bunch of the tribe, those whose health permitted. 

*Gault and Millau, a posh French gormands directory, have honoured our own Chapaire in their 2025 directory. Congratulations to them!
