Where yesterday the Finnish ladies discovered that northern Scandinavia is the place to be right now because temperatures ranged between 25 and 29 Celsius (multiply by 2, add 32.)
Meanwhile, we bundle up to go outside, and stay close to the fire indoors. Yesterday the sun came out while we toured & shopped at the market in Revel, but everyone was in parkas. The market is recognized as one of the top regional ones in France, and there is an amazing array of food, most of it produced in the area or not far away.
At the market we purchased the makings for a festive dinner - bouilliabaise, two or three kinds of bread, vegetables Leah later used to produce a delicious chopped salad; several bottles of wine, and for dessert a pear tart AND a strawberry tart. (Leftover tart made a fine addition to this morning's breakfast!)
Today it's quiet. Most of the party have gone off to tour, leaving three of us behind to read or write or tend the fire. The sun is trying to come out.
