Meandering thoughts and pictures (6)

Wind tower hopping: France, apparently, has one of the fastest growing wind tower economies - just look north from Pépoulie and ten kilometres away on the horizon you will see the newest addition to the wind tower farming community. We cycled to see this particular wind harvest just outside Seviès. But the best wind tower viewing is to the south of Puylaurens, outside the historic and picturesque town of Saint Félix Lauragais. Here you can see fourteen of them. Eye candy or eyesore???



Apple pie: 'tis the season for apples to continue their longstanding temptation of the world. We bought bags of them for one euro a kilo at the local market, tasted about ten varieties, and became experts at making tarte Tatin. It's on page 41 of Pépoulie's resident cook book The Impressionists' Table.
