We take Bar and Geoff to Sommieres market on our way to the airport. What a great place this is. We meet lots of friends, Alain our resident village artist, Mike and Chris who live in the next village, Christine the wife of our mayor and Peter the source of all Languedocienne knowledge.
We buy lunch on the hoof from the Lebanese stall and then head off to the airport at Nîmes.
(Little Known Fact: The correct spelling of Nîmes has a circumflex over the "i". This signifies that in ye olden days, Nîmes was actually spelt Nismes. The circumflex replaces the "s" after the "i". The same applies to words like châteaux etc.) Just think how you will impress your friends with this knowledge!
On the way back from the airport Jan decides that she wants to take a look at a local dog show. I have money on us leaving with a new puppy. I'm wrong - but then I often am.
Out to dinner tonight with friends in the next village.
