Meetings Nearly Everyday.

2nd April:
Met Madeleine and her friend Ellen in the market and then we all had lunch at the Auberge. In the evening we were invited to David and Laura's for something to eat and to firm up on the Scottish trip.
3rd April:
Had Jean-Jacques around for lunch as Michelle is still in Paris.
4th April:
Tonight we were up in the mountains for Christian's regular surgery and now that the restaurant has re-opened after its winter break, duck breast was back on the menu. Before that I went up to see Annette and then walked 20 minutes or so to get down to the village. The blossom on the wild cherry trees looks almost like snow, doesn't it?
5th April:
From the mountains to the big city .... Spent the morning in Perpignan where Christian had to see the the specialist who will be doing his biopsy and we even managed to avoid having lunch out. Now, there's a surprise! Finally got around to tackling a translation for an artist's website (see ) in the afternoon. I just hope that I've done it justice. Then, in the evening I managed to get roped into a carboot sale in June for the Association working with the Congolese women that I've spoken about previously.
6th April:
Had my first English conversation session with a 15 year old from the village who's Mum asked me everso nicely to help ..... one day I'll learn to say "no". This evening there was a meeting about the Guadeloupe visit which seems to be getting ever more complicated.
7th April:
Association committee meeting and language exchange in the morning and dinner along with David and Laura at Maggie's in the evening. This photo of the wisteria was taken from where we meet on a Thursday. Just glorious.
8th April:
Spanish followed by a tasting at the cookery workshop that was going on downstairs, followed by lunch with Marguerite and Michel at the bar. In the evening there was a get-together for the Scottish group over an apéritif.
9th April:
There was no market today as it was Christian's turn for a meeting. I took advantage of a lovely sunny day by delivering the Association's latest bulletin before meeting him for an omlette in the bar.
