For nearly a week we've had grey skies. Today it's raining and sleeting. Usually here it's cold, but clear and bright at this time of the year. We haven't been able to do any work in the garden, although we did manage our traditional aperitif in the garden on Christmas day, with a brief moment of sunshine.
Pour presqu'une semaine il a fait gris. Aujourd'hui il pleut et un peu de neige fondue tombe de temps en temps. Comme d'habitude ici à cette saison il fait froid, mais clair. Nous n'avons pas pu faire aucun travail au jardin, mais on a pris l'apéritif au jardin le jour de Noel, pendant un petit moment de soleil.
It's strange to see olive leaves covered in rain / c'est bizzare de voir les feuilles d'olivier couvertes de pluie.
Yesterday we went to Grau d'Agde and the sea was grey and rough. / Hier on est allé au Grau d'Agde et la mer était gris et agitée.
Not the usual view of the Mediterranean!
At home in the evening we cheered ourselves up with a meal of tapas and North African pastries: / Chez nous le soir on s'est remonté le moral avec un repas de tapas et de patisseries maghrébines:
sheep's cheese and anchovies | cured ham and artichoke hearts |
Spanish red peppers stuffed with potato and salt cod | Almond, apricot, fig and walnut pastries. |

Your tapas feast looks delicious! I love the colorful plates. Is the passion fruit growing in your garden? I have one that looks totally different - larger leaves and purple fruit.
Happy New Year! Hope the sun returns soon for you.
The tapas look really tasty! The weather here is wet - not what it should be!
Thank you all for your comments.
The passion fruit is a different, ornamental, variety from the eating variety which you describe, Michelle. You can eat the one we have, but it doesn't taste all that good, so it's better to enjoy its decorative qualities.
