Tasty Birthday

Thursday 01. 09. 22 Claire and I celebrated our August birthdays today at Redouane’s in Clermont. Very tasty!

All Quiet on the Western Front

Monday 22. 08. 22 It is very quiet here since my house guests left yesterday.

Julia, Alex and Frank were here for 9 days and I think they enjoyed themselves. From canoeing on the Herault, visiting Villeneuvette, to swimming in the lake, swimming at Les Trois Digues, to wandering through Carcassonne and eating all those tasty meals. They seemed to have had a good time and I am looking forward to welcoming them again.

Le Tournesol 

Wednesday 17. 08. 22 We all had a delicious dinner at Le Tournesol last night before it rained!

Lac du Salagou

Saturday 13. 08. 22 Went to the lake this afternoon and had a really refreshing swim. Not too crowded and the water was warm. Very rejuvenating!

My birthday

Saturday 06. 08. 22 Today was my 81st birthday and I had nothing planned. I met George & Laurene for a coffee at Le Charleston and Laurene brought some very tasty cakes. George and I also decided to have a pastis. We ran into Catherine & Philippe while we were there and they invited me up to their house for lunch. We had a delicious lunch and they even lit a candle for me. Thank you all for a very, very happy birthday.

Birthday

Monday 01. 08. 22 My first birthday card arrived today from Daisy & Leo. It is all made of wood. Brilliant!

French dinner

Wednesday 20. 07. 22 Had dinner with Dot & John and Edith & Bruno and their family last night. Wonderful company but the Tournesol has not got any better!

Very special

Monday 18. 07. 22 George and Laurene invited me up for a swim and a pastis this afternoon. Very refreshing! They have the best pool in Clermont.

Bastille Day

Friday 15. 07. 22 Yesterday was a holiday here. There was the usual formal celebration at 11am at the Place de la Republique and then 12 hours later we had the wonderful firework display in the grand parking.

More music

Monday 04. 07. 22 Another concert outside St Paul’s last night. This one celebrating the end of the year at the Clermont School of Music.
