Irene and Chris came to visit this week. They had a house in Mirepoix some years ago. Irene would visit Maggie in her shop. Maggie would close her shop and leave a message on the door whilst she and Irene had coffee on the square. Sometimes customers would come and find Maggie if they wanted to buy something. In the evening they went out drinking with Eddie and Chris – they must have been very thirsty.
They went on a tour of this area and must still be thirsty because they always seemed to stop for a drink. Maggie said the Commerce Restaurant near the cathedral in Mirepoix was very nice and they had another drink there.
They visited the local lake – Lac Montbel. It’s not a lake just a big puddle. Eddie says everywhere is very dry in the world and they can only paddle in this lake, as there’s very little water for swimming now.
Maggie, Eddie, Irene and Chris, went to the Relais Royal hotel for a meal. It was very delicious. We didn’t go AGAIN.
The next day Irene and Chris were leaving for UK. They had their breakfast outside in the sun. I had a VERY small piece of toast from Irene. Even though I did my best begging face.
Eddie and Maggie took them to the airport but of course they had another meal WITHOUT us in the Rendezvous Restaurant in Carcassonne. More nice food. The hamburger wasn’t Maggie’s, it belonged to a handsome young man who Maggie asked if she could take a picture. I think she wanted a picture of the man. I just wanted the hamburger.
Eddie and Maggie went into Carcassonne – it is a lovely city and they visited the places they knew. Eddie liked the old car. Maggie liked the shoe shops
