Carole from pigletinportugal.com is runs #TodayInOnePhoto and is asking us to share a photo that caught our attention today. To find out more, follow the link above.
We were doing our usual walk around the Canal du Midi port when this pink light caught my eye. I’d never seen it on previous strolls. Unfortunately, the photo isn’t great because of the light.
Walking under the bridge didn’t help. It just wasn’t dark enough!
Later, it became clear. “Octobre Rose” is France’s annual nationwide campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This month-long initiative raises awareness, promotes early detection and screening, and funds medical research. Illuminating buildings was one way of highlighting the event in Castelnaudary.

😂😘 The weather has been excellent up till now, but the rain arrived yesterday (it’s needed) and the temperatures have begun to drop today. How is it in your part of Portugal?

Our son was here for a couple of days and it was still 27/28, but he went home yesterday and it’s starting to cool nicely. We went for a walk on the beach this morning xx
