Did you (do you ?) go sking? I have never done it but would love a go. Where is the canal picture is it in the centre of castlenautry or on the out sides? Post more if you have them I love seeing pics of my soon to be home area. After a good chat with hubby he says if I could get a part time job to cover my spending habits , we could move , Im not very optermistic with the state of my french but if you hear of anything let me know cos im desperate to move, I need in the region of 5/600 quid a month to cover my spending , I dont care what it is as long as I dont have to be cruel to animals.    Dirty Tom =^..^= Where ever I lay my paw thats my home    Report

Pads, here's another couple - one of the Canal du Midi from the lock in Castelnaudary: and one of the town looking across the Grand Bassin (with the canal and lock behind me when I took the photo): BTW, I'll keep an eye out for any jobs for you Pads but I think it would be easier for you to do it once you're here - chicken + egg situation tho' if you can't move until you get a job!

It took us about 6 hours from Car to trebes but we did stop there for lunch, it was a loverly walk. we were looking forward to going the other way.     Yes I know what you mean Im going to have to work harder on him, if I cant find anything , next year Im thinking of taking a 6 month career break ( which means I can go back to my job after but sadley they dont pay me) if I cant find any thing after the 6 months come back, but it would leave me free to grab anything that comes up. I like to play with my camera too, Im not very good, if I wasnt taking my french lessons I was going to take lessons on to use it better , but dont have the time as french takes all my spare time     Dirty Tom =^..^= Where ever I lay my paw thats my home    Report

Good luck with the job-hunting - hope something turns up so you can follow your dream.   Cat's motto: "No matter what you've done wrong, always try to make it look like the dog did it." - Unknown    Report

It proves the weather can be glorious there in the winter as well. We were there for four days last weekend and it was glorious. It was cold in the morning and night (but still gorgeous and sunny) but we sat outside in the afternoons for lunch in the warm sunshine with our little dog. Not bad for February! I have never been there but fell in love with the area. Dare I say, not too many parts of France hold a patch. Those of you from the area should be very proud indeed.  Just hope no one complains about me posting too many photos, I can't choose between them.          Report
