best value

Went to Perpignon with Nel yesterday - the bus from Quillan
all the way costs 1 Euro. Only trouble is it leaves at 7.50 a.m
and to get to it one has to take the 7.10 from Tilling (cost =
2.20 Euros) which means after a few hours shopping one is fit
for nothing.

Gorgeous though and the trip through the mountains is the stuff
of dreams.

Dear, sweet Pete cooked us dinner. Which meant I was fast
asleep around the time I'm normally thinking of going out.
Woken by the dawn chorus; all the birds are back and
breeding. This long, long winter is (surely) finally routed-
