Before the snow






Some photos from Sunday morning breakfast at Sète, followed by a walk around the wharves, along some of the canals, up the hill to the cemetry where Paul Valery is buried and back down to the city art gallery, which wasn't open until the afternoon.

Snow was forecast for Montpellier today but our morning was full of sunshine. I left for London late afternoon and when I landed had a text from F to say it was snowing. Of course I didn't believe him as despite forecasts, it never snows here. He sent me photo proof and it's snowing heavily even as I write this.
Who knows, Montpellier may have it's first 'snow day' tommorrow!
