Easter Parade

Sun’s out, so is the south west gale! We bounced across Le Plan to Ste Cécile a little later than usual and when we got there it was heaving. But anyway we snaked in and out of the crowds, obtained a meal from our chap, yoghurts, meats from Elodie, strawberries and asparagus and croissants to eat with coffee. But oh my! The plane trees are in full irritation mode. Everyone was coughing and sneezing, the bread lady had a full serious mask to protect herself from the pollen. Adrian was covered in bits of flower stamens from the trees above our café table.

And it’s warm. They are saying 20 degrees this afternoon.

We returned via Cairanne for a BIB and Rasteau for a drink in the square. Very blustery and pleasant.

First swift but no hoopoes.
