AKL Coe's

0900 here in St Remy-de-Provence on Thursday 24 June which is our last day here. Weather is gorgeous and expected to reach 27 or higher. Skies are blue and very little wind after the Mistral of earlier in our week here. A brief note on our day yesterday. 0900 off into town as it was market day. The market took over most of the town and you should have seen the food - cheeses of all kinds, sausages, fish, salami, nougat, nuts and heaps more. Plus the usual lavender thingy's and cloths and knives and bric a brac. it took us 5 hours to get back to our motel but it did include a caffe break and a sandwich lunch break and a visit to the Van Gogh museum as he spent a year here before he died and did 150 paintings here. Fred called during this to say that because of a rail strike they would not get to Narbonne until 2015 on Friday. This meant a cange of schedule so we will stay in narbonne for the night rather than Toulouse
By the time we did the market and sorted out the schedule it was siesta time so into bed.
Got up about 1700 in time for pre- dinner drinks/nibbles and met new neighbours from Browns Bay before going off to dinner at la Cignale? Diana had pork and I had steak/scallops with a half litre of wine. Got home at about 2200 for strawberries and nougat on our terrace. Hit the sack at 2345.
