lunch with Andrée

Andrée offered to take me and the Captain to lunch; we went to Le Canal, often seen (on the corner at the crossroads at Quillan, next door to Annie and Petes), always assumed to be shut.
It's classic french stuff, in decor and service. The food is fabulous. I had a fish souffle in a lobster sauce to start, slices of duck in orange sauce next; perfect slabs of Roquefort and Camembert followed by warm banana in carmelised chocolate sauce with a special ice-cream. We drank a very delicious Corbieres.

Can just about waddle now.

Other news; here is dear Bieke leaving us again but only for three weeks. (Shes actually flying to Ghent, not cycling -)
