Lauzerte Day was an annual highlight – my family and I would do the two hour drive from our place in Tarn and spend the perfect afternoon feeling like we were in a Nouvelle Vague film. I think of Carol always smiling, or deep in conversation. I love the group photo here because she is sprinting through the background, having just remembered another dish for the table… It makes me think of a few of her qualities – her love of bringing people together, her generosity and lack of ego, and a girlishness she still seemed to possess.
