#friendships#Ceret#Maureillas-las-Illas
Today was another slow day which when you are travelling are great because it gives you a chance to catch your breath and reflect on your surroundings / experiences.
Madame Susan & Monsieur Mark opted to walk the cork forest trail from the opposite direction today.
Madame Susan says she remembers thinking that our landlady, Hazel was right to start from where she did the other day when she accompanied them.
My interpretation/ translation : it was a more challenging, difficult walk today!
Monsieur Honey & I wandered in the village with a couple of quick pickups at the boulangerie for a freshly baked baguette and a stop at the Spar for some lunch items.
On our way back we had a cafe sit at the local bar/ restaurant “El Tap” in the square for some people watching while listening to the soft splashing of water in the fountain.
Such blue, blue skies ...
Back at our home away from home with our shopping ...
”Nos amies” returned from their walk and we enjoyed our alfresco lunch in the lower garden under the shade of the lychee tree.
It was another beautiful, sunny day!
The Monsieurs had a wander in the back yard ...
Only thing on our calendar today was a rendezvous with our Kiwi friends who split their time between Nelson, New Zealand and Céret, France.
We met Karen and John at le Comptoir des Arcades for drinks and a catch up!
We missed seeing them the previous year (as our 2018 European travels only took us to Spain).
We shared a pleasant couple of hours of friendship.
The sun was shining brightly, so much so that hats were shared.
The magical light was magnificent!
We drove back to Maureillas-las-Illas from Céret along the mottled coloured plane tree lined road.
