The above is a real picture taken by me out of the car window, all I've done is put a white frame round it. I know it looks a bit weird but that's just how it looked!
I am sat sitting here in the heart of Carcassonne
It is also pissing with rain but I've had a great day and a bit of sitting on the bed blogging isn't a bad thing.

Last night we ate at an outdoor restaurant,
the name of which sadly escapes me where for €14.50 I had ...
Gazpacho
Crusty yummy bread
oOo
Confit de Canard with Potatoes Roasted in Duck Fat
oOo
Crème Catalan
My dining companion had mussels au gratin
with aioli and we shared a half litre of local red wine for just €6 so that's
quite a lot of good eating and drinking for not much money.
Today we first went to the market which was
as I have always been led to believe French markets are - piles and piles of
great produce!
We didn't buy much as we have no fridge or

If you can't decipher the writing they are oreillettes and you can read more about them here ... Oreillettes Recipe which is where I looked! They are like deep fried crèpes, crisp and sugary and very good with coffee. I might try making some when I get home.
After we had wandered and marvelled for a while
I went off on my own like the big girl I am to look at the medieval citadel or
cité - very nice and not too full of people whilst I was there although they
did seem to be piling in as I was leaving.
