Well lordy, lordy. I got three (eat your heart out) Valentines greetings today. One from Jan and two which were delivered mysteriously to my desk, by hand. What's going on? I wonder if she's starting to like me at long last. (Don't hold your breath - Ed.)
To celebrate, we joined 30 others on a Bryan organised walk through the garrigue between Vic le Fesque and Fontanes. It was tough going in parts but quite amazing in its discovery. Having climb steadily up from V le F we noticed in the distance huge statues of Mary and the Crucifixion. I say huge because they were a long way away and they were big. Who on earth built these things in the heart of the countryside, in the middle of nowhere? Descending a hill we came across a chapel and a tree lined avenue with the stations of the cross. And, bearing in mind that we were in the middle of nowhere it felt a bit spooky. We had arrived at Notre Dame de Prime Combe, a place of pilgrmage since 887. If you want to know more look here. Hope your French is up to scratch!
Afterwards, a big group of us had lunch at the relais in Montmirat. Lunch with a bunch of wine for 13 euros per head. Excellent.
