Holidays!

Well, just a little one.  We decided we needed to get away in the campervan for a few days.  We're not going far, just over to the other side of the department we live in.  We're visiting Marciac which is where we spent a lot of time when we first arrived in France 8 years ago.  In fact, we'll be staying at the same campsite where we got Jak, my cat.  They have a big jazz festival in Marciac every August, and that year, after all the campers had left , 2 kittens were wandering around a bit lost.  Someone must have abandoned them.  Friends of ours, Rod and Brian, took the female, and we got Jak.





What a scruff!  He's been rolling in the dirt again!








Somehow, I don't think he'd thank me for this photo!!

We're staying 2 nights there, and then going to the camel farm on Saturday night to celebrate Sarah's birthday.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARAH!!  I'll get some photos of the animals while we're there (2 legged and 4 legged!!) and post them when we get back.


Had our first artichokes of the season yesterday.




We had them with pasta and prawns - delicious.  It was a recipe I'd never tried before but it worked out much better than I thought.  We'll definitely be having it again.
