Spanish this morning which, if I was a good pupil would have put me in good stead for the rest of day but despite being very willing, the brain lags sadly behind. Met up with frank and Penny and introduced them to Mas Salelles over the border and like us, they thought it was a great wee place. Lunch also gave us the opportunity to talk about the exhibition that Penny's association, which supports anglophones and their families through cancer treatment and its aftermath, that will be held in the village in December.
In the evening there was a vernissage of an exhibition of photos taken in Cuba by a young Spanish guy. The photos were excellent, full of characterful faces. Juste helped with the Spanish translation, Jean and his group provided the entertainment (havanares, ie, songs from Cuba that Catalan sailors brought back)and Thérèse made a cramat, a hot coffee doused with rum. Not any old coffee but one that was heated and flamed.
Came back to ours with Juste and Joséphine, stopping by at the local take-away to buy chips and pile on the kilos.
