More food and fun

Kat and I have been staying in Caunes Minervois doing art and generally having a hard time of it. We stayed at Les Deux Arches, a little bnb and loved it; if you are going that way, heartily recommended. Here is Kat savoring a dish of langoustines  wrapped in filo and deep fried -- served with cream slightly whipped with spices. Can't remember the name of the restro but easily found if you are in the vicinity, something to do with marble. 

Les Deux Arches give an amazing breakfast so we were fit to go draw, find lunch and return home... where Phil was about to drive back to Blighty. Accordingly we went for a farewell dinner last night at the Auberge du Faby where Sabrine (below) spoilt us - she has a most interesting exhibition up, showing the paintings of an artist who died about five years ago. Her husband has been re-interpreting the work in stained glass ever since and they are on show with the paintings. More on that as and when.
