Roses in the street

It is good to see the flowers overhanging the narrow streets.  These are the first roses I have seen in full bloom. After a little gardening this morning, I went to the painting class in the afternoon. I made good progress with the painting I have chosen to attempt but there is more to do on it.  We have been invited out for dinner tonight with the deputy maire who has given us so much support with our project.  He has just written a very interesting book about his life in the village and in the shadow of Canigou.  He is a politician who is also poet, photographer, painter and author.
