Sunday Brunch

Afterwards we visited mum in the nearby care home on a day when she was not quite herself.

Much later in the day we dined in the Giggling Squid before visiting Theatre Severn to hear Kate Mosse ‘Unlocking the Secrets of the Labyrinth’. She shared her inspiration for her novel Labyrinth and the subsequent books in the trilogy and the book that didn’t quite fit in with her research.

Kate shared the beauty, history and mystery of Carcassonne and the Languedoc region from the 13th century wars of religion between Catholics and Cathars in south-west France to modern-day Grail legends and conspiracy theories.

Carcassonne, Aude

The talk brought back fond memories of my visit to Carcassonne.

I have now completed my ‘Race the Distance ‘ 50 mile virtual walk to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the D-Day landings. Myvirtual walk took me  along the beaches of Normandy where the D-Day landings took place.

When my medal arrives I hope to do something special on June 6th to complete my commemoration of the day.
