A merry evening !
Dinner Tarnais style
Diary
Cahors plus
Busy days, a selection of photos, everything except Cahors where i was unable to take a photograph, mostly these are from this West Tarn region.
That said, the first is from yesterday Toulouse hence the photo of Place Victor Hugo, a place very near where my meeting with a gentleman from the Toulouse Business Exchange was held.
Other photos, other places visited in the past few days and with a bit of luck and a following wind, back to the famous town of Cahors.
Wine and sunshine
‘ve been visiting some chateaux and domaines, in brilliant sunshine, it’s even quiet warm here.
I’m catching up with the news, friends and have bought a few bottles mostly for gifts.
i’ll visit a few more and beautiful Albi next week before I point my bow for home.
Today I’m going to Toulouse for a ‘business’ meeting with a representative of the Toulouse Business Exchange’.
This will be fun and interesting.
Wish me luck?
My painting shown here is of Château de Saurs, Gaillac,76 x 121 cm (30″ x 48″).

Albi Autumnal
To Albi in the Dept du Tarn, a glorious autumnal melange of photos.
Albi, a UNESCO world heritage town with at least 2 excellent museums, for Toulouse Lautrec and #Laperouse, and some very good inexpensive restaurants; wish you were here?
Marketing
L’isle sur Tarn near Gaillac, a beautiful, fun and games afternoon in the sun with friends, ‘marketing’.
Snail Mail
The lock on my post box has jammed, even WD 40 would not shift it. Neither the nice lady from La Poste or I couldn’t open it. Meanwhile snails were feasting.
Rain
Here, rain, rain and more rain, so here to cheer us all up is a sunshine photo I took earlier near Gaillac where I plan to be later this month invited to a mysterious meeting about December’s Festival des Lanternes.

Brexit and vapour
The atharial morning vapour that is Brexit today, this morning in particular, is likely the most critical day for Britain, the ‘UK’, for the next 25 years. It is for Labour MPs that I write today. Do you realise you are being groomed as useful infidels for a Tory cause that is bigger than Brexit? … Read more
Winter draws on
As the weather here begins to turn chilly, I’m beginning to organise my visit to a sunnier clime, Toulouse and Gaillac, late November. I’m warming myself thinking of sunny days in the wine regions, of places like the South facing Chateau de Saurs, while my thoughts turn to ‘how do I restart the central heating’ … Read more
Gaillac sortie
Today, while working on the Titanic / Plymouth painting, in contrast, I am thinking of Gaillac [and Toulouse] beginning to plan for a late November sortie to Bordeaux and Gaillac wine regions, an adventure to be rich with surprises !
Like to join me there?
I have the honour of being invited by the Directrice Pôle Culture & Attractivité to a meeting just before the opening of the next grand festival des lanternes (1er décembre 2018 – 6 février 2019).
