 School Support

 The evening was warm and still , with the sun settling quickly over the Canigou. There was still time to enjoy an interlude from  the incessant wind. Supporting our local Lycée was our duty that night ; achieved through the enjoyment of a meal prepared by the students . Rillettes de saumon au curry, sablé à l’encre ;Risotto aux gambas ;Cheese-cake marron . The menu didn’t disappoint; supported by Deprade Jorda’s rosé; and  concluded with a Torres 10 brandy by the fireside.

As ( grand) parents , it is our duty to support school activities . Lycée C. Bourquin maybe a political name , but it offers a catering and hospitality speciality. Given that tourism is Argeles’s  raison d’être ; then this speciality is logical and welcome. More so, in that it offers for sale it’s culinary output . So we can fullfil our obligations  through the simple expedient of consumption .

So this evening , as we dined on our balcony , whilst watching the evening shadows lengthen , we could do so in the righteous  ambiance of support for our local educational establishment. Grandparent duty fulfilled.
