March





It has been an extremely bad month, weatherwise. A few springlike days but an awful lot of rain. On speaking to local people it seems that this is not normal and we also hear that it has been very wet in Ariege as well. Some days we have had persistent rain and other days torrential downpours. Easter was early this year, the weekend of the 22nd, and it was cold,wet and miserable. On Easter Saturday we went to a vide grenier (car boot sale) in Geaune, not many stall holders there and they all looked fed up! We had a nice meal, though, in the Auberge there which cheered us up somewhat. Today, the 29th, the sun is shining and the sky is blue, what a change from the past few weeks. The garden is looking very green and no doubt will now spring into life after all the rain.
