Today is a peach of a day and serves to reinforce our decision to abandon our lives in Ireland and head off to the Languedoc.

Because we had to head off for a meeting with our Accountant at 10.00 in Pezenas (about 45 minutes away) I was up reasonably early and as the sun was streaming in, took my breakfast at around 8.00 am out on the terrace.

Autumn has just started to yellow the Chinaberry Tree which dominates our back garden so when the sun came around from the East it really lit up the leaves , and then as the sun burned off the mists which had formed over the Orb Valley , the Pyrenees appeared, Mount Canigou now capped with snow and then all the range as far as I can see.
I must at least be able to see Pic de Jer, the mountain over Lourdes, which must be a full 300 kilometres away.
For November it is a very warm day here, the temperatures in the early 20’s.
We had to have the air-conditioning on in the car all the way home from Pezenas.

We are having a full week off between clients at the moment so are getting a lot of extra work done but today, after the accountant, is free.
C’est la vie.
