Bitter Sweet Moments

Today should have been our wedding anniversary and so it was another first milestone to pass on the journey without Christian. Ironically, it was Joan and Thérèse's wedding day so there was no time dwell. First at the Mairie and then on to an old mas that is used for functions though being near housing, festivities had to finish by 9pm. Of course I missed Christian not being there but it  was a great day with lovely food, nice people to chat with and a variety of non-stop entrainement .... choir, hirdy girdy, guitarist, Catalan duo, Les Inoxydables (Michel's rock group).
Once again I stayed to help with some of the clearing up (no cleaning this time) but with an early finish and having survived the journey back with Linde, we stopped off at the bar for a last drink. Well, there were several last drinks as we met up with Ben., Kath and  their 3 little ones (last day of their holiday) and Izzy and Richard (the first day of theirs). Being with young folk was just the best antedote to a day that had the potential to bring creeping melancholy.
Weather:
26°, sunshine
