Chosing between Culture and Food

Did nothing during the day other than potter and then  wouldn't you know, I had two invitations for the evening. One from Nany for a soirée at her house to celebrate her birthday and another from Michel to go to a vernissage in the Château Royal in Collioure. Michel had asked me first so culture it was!  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_Royal_de_Collioure
Despite being sponsored by the Region and in a prestigious historic monument there was a turnout of only about 25of us. Which was a shame as the sculptures, made from driftwood, were superb. This You Tube video shows all  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQem5xCyaMU
One nice touch was that standing next to us was an artist from who Michel was convinced that Christian and I had  bought a painting but he couldn't remember his name. He was right and we spent most of the vernissage in conversation with René Diaz. We were even invited to a vernissage of his in August; maybe we'll go but I did stop short of giving my phone number when he asked for it!
