Festival des hermits

If you go down to the market today, prepare to be approached by young men wearing nighties, bowler 


hats and a black eye. Don't ask... just give them some money and enjoy whatever is going on. There's a brass band involved.



Jolly hot! Very pleasant morning and night,  siesta midday of course.

And here's an exciting diary date...

We went to the lake yesterday, Quillan St Bertrand, and flogged up to the little lovely cafe there which their website erroneously announced as open... permanently closed is what they meant to say and forgot. Sigh. 
Wandered into Carrefour, bought an enticing bunch of sandwiches and headed to Bob's garden by the river-
magic! Over the years many hands (starting with Ryan and Alecia) have converted a scrubby hectare into an orchard and vegetable garden of calm and beauty. Enhanced by the call of the golden oriels.
