I enjoyed a short trip back to England to see the family at the beginning of the month, then returned here with Dad and friend Jenny. We very much enjoyed their visit, as well as the opportunity to be 'tourists' with them for a few days. Pamiers and Mirepoix markets are always a must, as well as Sabarat and the cave at Mas d'Azil, some lovely local walks and a drive up to the Prat d'Albis above Foix
We also enjoyed a short visit from friends Andy and Debbie with their grandson Charlie. We also drove up to the Prat d'Albis with them as well and saw that the cows and horses have been returned to the high meadows for the summer
The weather has continued to be very varied and changeable. We are harvesting an abundance of strawberries and cherries and Dave has planted onions, tomatoes, green beans etc and is nurturing them while they are small as they are always at risk from extreme wet or hot weather, as well as small animals who find them very tasty!!. Dave's raised bed is working well for lettuces as well.
The grass is also growing apace as always at the time of year, but the mower has broken down. The parts are on order and Dave is hoping to fix it next week!
