research

Bob is away again and I'm just having to cope.
In the interests of research I tagged onto Andrea and Max yesterday, a morning in Carcassonne followed by lunch with Jim Hankinson and his daughter Mattie - and her bouncing babe Theo -

 The mot juste for La Taverne a Bacchus is eclectic. Or more simply, wonderful. It's a French mansion in the hills outside Limoux, off the Malras road, open for lunch from Wednesdays to Sundays. Its BIG and it was packed and that was not surprising - 16 euro menu and brilliant food, jolly ambiance, strange art and odd collections - alarm clocks, for heavens sake! -

Vegetarians will not like it one bit but carnivores will revel. 06 09 68 28 81 or 04 34 21 96 38.

I'm going back asap to check that standards haven't dropped.

Many thanks to Jim, well found that man.
