Met up with @bushdogg yesterday in Avignon. Since he's been absent from this forum since the end of July, having been on feckin' holiday for nearly three months :eek:, I thought that, since he's a moderator, I should give him a damn good kicking on your behalf. :alert:

So I forced him and The Memsahib Bushdogg to sit down, drink wine and eat seafood with me and Lady CH for at least a couple of hours at Le Pavilion Bleu restaurant, in sight of the Pont d'Avignon (yes, the one in the song). :rolleyes:

I think he's learned his lesson. :cool:

Meanwhile, after dumping his body in the Rhône, here's the next town we visited -- Gordes, in the Lubéron. Wouldn't have wanted to be a brickie on that particular project... :eek::eek::eek:

Blue skies and sunshine today in Haute Provence. :alert: Got about 10 more days of lazing around and eating good food before we return to drizzly Brittany. :thumbsdown:

Did the Verdon Gorges today. Stunning scenery, and some amusingly tight mountain roads hanging over sheer drops. :p Lady CH didn't leave too many fingernails in the dashboard... :D

I don't remember swimming in the Rone river, you must have got me drunk Keith, hope it cost a lot, ;) I am now in Basse Normandie and heading for Le Havre overnighting in Nononcourt. I look forward to returning to duty next week . Arrrg!........mike
 
Meanwhile, as Bushdogg drives North into the endless drizzle, one is currently struggling with the constant sunshine at Cavalaire sur Mer, on the Côte d'Azur. :rolleyes:

Sundown with a sundowner. It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it... :whistle:

Visited the morning market today at Le Lavandou, about half an hour's stroll from our campsite. Mandy bought up most of the market, but I contented myself with a new hat, a charcuterie sausage flavoured with Piment d'Espelette, and a bottle each of fluorescent green and red nail varnish, as you do. :D

Squid, mussel and potato soup was on offer...

On the way there, we ran into some old friends -- several Crested Tits were faffing about in the mimosa trees by the side of the pavement.
