Summer has arrived!

It seems that after teasing us for several weeks, Summer has finally arrived! Despite being busy with organising paperwork and builders for our new place and starting to pack up ( and throw out!) some of our belongings, I have managed to fit in 2 lunches in Place Carnot in Carcassonne. I have my priorities! It was such a lovely atmosphere yesterday, sitting amongst the locals ( not too many Brits about at the moment, probably due to all the flight issues recently!), enjoying a 3 course meal in the sunshine. Perfection!

We are heading off to walk 2 of the dogs in St.Denis this morning. Tim is still resting, of course. He is basking in all this extra attention! There is a gorgeous bassin there which I try and go to whenever there is a sunny Sunday morning. As we haven't had many of those recently, I had to take advantage today and head over there. It's only 15 minutes from our house and not many people know about it so it's usually very peaceful. Here is a picture I took of the bassin on a recent walk, it's definitely worth a visit!

I enjoyed a fresh pain au chocolat on the terrace early this morning. I will definitely miss having a Boulangerie right across the street when we move! I think that I will be spending this afternoon sitting on a sun lounger with a glass of wine and the latest book I'm reading. With the unpredictable weather these days, who knows how long this lovely sunshine will last so I need to make the most of it whilst it's here! Plus, I need at least the beginnings of a tan to make my friends back in the UK jealous :)

I hope you are all enjoying a leisurely weekend in the sunshine xxx
