Weather persits so Bob, Lily and me hightailed it to the Med.
Fine plan:)
On Weds Margaret took Kat and me to Carcassonne to see the Corot again - get there if you can, its enchanting - and quite by luck discovered that in the old library upstairs and above the Beaux Arts is a collection of kind-of art brut, outsider art which is difficult to pigeon-hole. It is the gift of Ceres Franco who came to France from Brazil in the 1950's, befriended the likes of Picasso and Dubuffet and Ernst and started her massive collection which she has given to the town. The collection is now permanently in place and you'd have to be very hardened to art not to enjoy it. Below is a Marianne, of course :)
