While summer on
Cape Cod is supposed to be the big sha-bang, it is also a perfect time to rent your own home out and get away from the hordes. Blessed with sudden unemployment, we went to live and work at the ancient Chateau de Montlaur in Montaud, in the south east above Sète. We brought our cat, Pearly, via
Iceland, who got in a dust-up with the resident barn cats. More on that later. We covered lots of ground throughout southern
France,
Spain,
Andorra, and
Scotland by various means of transport. Meanwhile an Irishwoman then a Québecquois were in our house. It was hell getting our house ready to rent. Coming back to the
Cape in early September brought us back just in time for the glory days. That’s where we are now, with wonderful sun, clear air, and little traffic. This weekend will be
Fall for the Arts, a Cape-wide celebration.
