February 2018

Another meal out was proposed and this time we ventured down to Carcassonne and enjoyed the beef of Le Grande Buffe where the beef steak is cooked over an open wood and charcoal fire.

Suddenly on 8th February the temperatures plunged and Castelnaudary had a 'white out'. Fortunately it didnt last on the ground for very long!

On 18th we took advantage of the hire car and went sightseeing. We visited Saint Papoul and were charmed by the old wooden beamed houses, and narrow medieval streets. We didnt get the chance to see inside the Abbey. Next time maybe. 

Nigel also 'collected' some more dates from houses. The oldest here being 1685.
