Nothing much is planned for us today!
We've had a busy few days and we are thinking of doing not much!
It's Sunday and our supplies are low ... need some fresh bread, some wine and something sweet for our Sunday night dessert.
A mid morning walk to the shops, the wine store for some delicious "Rose", the Boulangerie for a half baguette and oh yes "une tarte aux fruits" ... and fresh cherries from the neighbours' stand.
like our neighbour.
She sets up every morning and every afternoon. They are colourful and deliciously sweet.
Ceret is known as the Cherry Capital of the Pyrennes Orientales. The first cherries come from Ceret.
Traditionally each year the first box of cherries is delivered to the President of France.
Annually there is a Cherry Festival (la Fête des Cerises) held at the end of May. The town is already gearing up for this event ... decorating the streets with banners, store owners window displays all dressed with a "Cherry" theme and in the local butcher shops you can even buy homemade pâtés with added cherries. Monsieur Honey especially likes this pâté.
What more could you ask for?
An early evening sit at the Café in the sunshine, people watching and planning the rest of our days in the Ceret area.
An evening at home watching the magic light and the beautiful views.
An easy day to finish the week ... tomorrow we're off to Spain!
