My brother Gary and his wife Kathryn arrived at lunchtime today. Out this afternoon exploring the highlights and hot spots of Limoux. So we needed a coffee at the Grand Café to recuperate.

Have now had a couple of days in La Digne d'Aval. House is great. Fit for purpose and working well. Weather has been a bit grubby, but spirits high. Photo is from lunch at Domaine Gayda on Saturday. With David and Nuri who drove up from Spain for a couple of nights. Was great to see them. And to have David's Cassoulet for a very long lunch on Sunday. Superb!
