Although
gloomy, it was dry overnight but turned to rain early on today and continued
all day. So four wet days out of twelve;
not bad for the Pickwells. However,
being made of stern stuff the most was made of the day by orchid hunting in the
rain (three new ones found!) and then, at great expense driving over the Millau
Bridge at 7€ 80 and we used to think the Humber Bridge was expensive. Still there is an excellent viewing area and
it is a fabulous construction. The piers
are higher than the Eiffel Tower. Gustav
would have been impressed and we should know, we have visited three of his
bridges on this trip; try outs for his less horizontal tower. We called in to a wonderful nowhere France
small town at lunchtime and went into the local bar/restaurant for coffee. Typical of a French village at lunchtime it
was dead and deserted but the bar/restaurant was warm, cosy and a hubbub of
locals enjoying a convivial lunch. Our
evening meal tonight was one of our favourites: dinner a la tin!!! With, of course, the required pre-prandial
gold and fizzy, wine and a local digestif!!!
Rain forecast for tomorrow!! J
