We set off for the seaside the other day, but finished up heading for the mountains, since the views were good. The air was quite clear up at the Château de Quéribus, so we had good views of snowy Pyrenees.
We finished up in Limoux for a late lunch at our usual place. Disappointing: we decided against our usual pizzas, and my canelloni maison was awful. Martyn's steak, ordered à point arrived bleu, but benefited from another wave at the flame.
I've been trying to find subjects that I might like to paint, but the rain has knocked out most of the colour in the vineyards. A bit late now anyway, since we leave for England tomorrow. So we've really done rather a lot of not much, or I have at least. Martyn has been making great strides with his new model railway layout, which is now functioning: he reckons he may have to replace the points, since the short wheelbase engines tend to stop on the dead frogs......ask him...
We've done another trip to the wood yard, since the first lot of wood burned down fast. We'll have enough left over to give us a couple of nights' fires when we come back in the spring. It has been very dull and grey, so the fire has been on constantly since we got here. We're ready to get back to central heating now.
