From a vantage point between Portes and Peyremale I could see all the way over to the Rhône valley and beyond. I could see Mont Ventoux and the snow capped peaks of the Alps beyond it. I reckon Mont Ventoux is about 100km as a French Corbeau flies from where I was, (as long as it hadn't been on the Pastis).
Happy Hogmanay everyone. Don't drink and drive - here's a salutary warning to all:
Be careful about drink driving as we are getting close to the New Year and Police are out there checking on people. Last night I was out for a few drinks. One thing led to another and I had a few too many cocktails and then went onto the wine. Not a good idea. Knowing I was over the limit, I decided to leave my car at the pub and took a bus home. Sure enough, I passed a police checkpoint, where they were pulling over drivers and performing breathalyser tests. Because I was in a bus they just waved it past. I arrived home safely and without incident, which was a real surprise as I've never driven a double decker before and I am not even sure where I got it from.
Ho! bl**dy Ho!
