It is exactly 2 years since we left the UK, and it is weekends like this that confirm that our decision to move was a good one. The weather has been fantastic. It has been more like spring rather than the end of January.
Yesterday Richard and I decided to walk on the plateau at Leucate. We have a book of local walks and have tried this particular one several times. In spite of following the signs carefully, we never seem to complete the route as planned. I think we have cracked it now, with a few deviations. The sun was warm, sky was blue and it was lovely to see the almond blossom beginning to flower. Bees and butterflies were flying everywhere. We even found a flock of sheep with lambs.

Today we went to a truffle fair. Again as usual, it is based around food and drink.
There were stalls in the village selling baguettes. There was a choice of foie gras, magret or truffle omelette. I decided to have the magret and Richard the omelette. They were lovely. One could also sample a variety of wines from local vineyards. One of the highlights of this fair is the Banda, Les Bestioles de la Garrigue. Their music certainly put a smile on everyone’s faces and made the feet tap.
