That's more like it

I am delighted to announce that normal service seems to have been resumed.


The sun has come out and last Saturday, the streets of Ceret hummed to the beat of a spring market. In the afternoon, USAP took on the power of Paris in the rugby and a band of brothers forced a few thirst quenching beers past their dry cracked lips. USAP smashed Paris and came out victorious. After a couple of hours watching the rugby outside, I turned a beautiful radiant pinky/red colour. Crack open the sun cream.

South of France in March!

I could not resist this one. On Friday is was very lucky to be invited to a friends yacht in Spain for the day. There was a fair breeze and a hot sun and fun was had by all. On Saturday, it was Carnival day in Ceret. The weather again was lovely, the youth of Ceret came out in droves and all had a merry old time. The thing that really struck me was the fact that us old people are happy to give over the town to the youth of Ceret to go mad and have some fun and  that the afore said youth spend all their free time leading up to the carnival building the most amazing floats, which are then pulled by tractor through town, with music blaring, kids shouting, silly string and foam flying everywhere and beer being consumed. 


The weather was great and everyone had a really good time.


The reason for bringing these points up is not just to reiterate what a great place the Roussillon is but also to point out the fabulous weather.......So imagine my surprise, when I awoke this morning to find 10cm of snow on the ground. Spring has sprung, the grass has riz....yeh yeh yeh put another log on the fire.
