Pootling south

After yet more storms yesterday, the sunset was pretty impressive.



The forecast was for another storm today so I set off on the bike early, also to avoid the tourist traffic heading for the Gorges du Verdon and I had the beautiful road almost to myself.





The poor old tree trunks are now getting used to the relentless Provençal climbing but it’s still a relief when there is a lovely descent, only 25 miles today - anyone would think this is a holiday!




Weeheeeee....


Inevitably the storm clouds were gathering as I approached Tourtour, another beautiful hilltop village. 

As if by magic, the Support Crew drove into the village at the same time, so Bob was plonked into the back of the hire car and we set off for a walk around the village and of course lunch.





Another lunch, another village pooch...


My Winter Sunday afternoon planning sessions have provided some very pleasant surprises and our ‘B & B’ this evening is definitely one of them.
