Last night in dull weather at the Poulet en Velo; Sebastien had the foresight to erect a tent for the dinners by the lake. We were all exhausted from the Artistes a Suivre tour round Puivert, Chalabre and Rivel though not as exhausted as Caroze whom l met this morning and who did the same tour - on a bicycle! 
We lunched at Chalabre, an agreeable place Ive forgotten the name of - and Rushton came too, he was wandering about the exhibits as we were.
Below is the church at Rivel, what a cute village - never been before - where they have a statue of saint Anne teaching the virgin to read, my favorite Catholic theme. Probably the only one where women are encouraged to be other than mother, martyr or shepherdess; though you have to be preparing to be the mother of god, of course.
Was taken by the photos of Bruno Wagner in the church, splendidly weird stuff - indeed many of the shows were interesting, but I kept bumping into friends and not taking photos.
Well done to the artists and organisers of the AaS, they are most able and competent. Impressed too by the numbers of visitors. And -YES- I bought a painting!!
Photo when its in the house. Really excited :)
