Winter in Esperaza

Claudine! With terribly smart new haircut. We had coffee together sometime this week - I'm loosing my dates - she is well and in fact somewhat sensational.

The Captain is back and to celebrate we ate at the Chapaire last night, grossed out in my case. They do us proud there. The Cabonara was late; apologies in advance because they had to make the pasta. Brilliant.

Today there was an icy wind enveloping the market so after hasty shopping Peter G., Nel, Alain and I dived into the Relais Occitain for warmth and succour.

                                                                                                    catching up in a warm French cafe is a tranche of heaven  IMHO
