Magheads ahoy

The many fans of Mary Magdalene - known locally as Magheads - will be beating a path to the Beaux Arts in Carcassonne where a jolly entertaining expo is running, entry free.

And the winner is.... the modern face of catholicism, in 1891 anyway. By Jean Beraud and totally fab. See

for a decent look at the image. Makes a change from men's paintings of semi-naked ladies clutching skulls and is beautifully painted.

Margaret drove me and Kat there and we were good, we didn't stop in any art stores and squander our resources on things we think might help but don't. We went instead to Alet-les-Bains to draw the racing Aude; the heavy rains of last night had swollen it big time.

Bob  is back with us and the weather will be good for tomorrows market.
