Catching up

We finally spent a few days in Figeac this month as it has been impossible for us to fit it in whilst Tine was working. We decided to go across country, keeping motorways to a minimum and really enjoyed the journey (merci Guy, we picnicked in your home town!) - it took 30 minutes longer but just 5 € in tolls.

The family were all well and Figeac as beautiful as ever despite the cold. As usual we ate too much but I wasn't complaining about the wine!! Photos 3, 4 & 5 were taken at Francine's lovely house which overlooks the town. Rémi was more than happy to show off his monocycle skills whilst we watched on from the terrace.

Caro and Francine look good at Loulou & Sylvie's house, don't they? (And the sugared soleil bread surrounded by home-made crème au chocolat doesn't look bad either!)

We even had a touch of snow whilst we were there and a very heavy frost on the morning of our departure as you can see from the tree opposite Francine's.
