Toques et Clochers 2014

The team! We went early to the Toques et Clochers - bus from Sieur d'Arques in Limoux to the dear little village of Tourreilles - but still managed to miss the main procession. It didn't mattter.
Usual high level of organisation, no cars, all streets surrounding the village closed, lots of art and white wines and delicious food.
This years theme was aliens. There were lots.

There was a little ceremony to commemorate an 11 year old drummer killed in the Battle of the Aude, way back when. The band played the Marseillaise.
The weather got better and better and crowds rolled in so we went home for a kip, no stamina... Stuart, Toby, Leo, their friends, Max, Andrea and theirs will be milling about. Annie and Pete are here too - but not at the Toc et Sloshers, as they call it.  Fireworks programmed for 10.30 tonight so we will be a small party for dinner. Possibly  even a sober one.
