Friday 15th November,

We are in Port-Vendre where it is blowing a gale, I'm told the winds are 80/90kph.

On Wednesday we stayed in (another!) vineyard just south of Carcassonne and the wind got up there but it is crazy now! Another English guy staying at the same motorhome park as who is also Spain bound says he is hanging on till the wind drops as he does not fancy getting tipped over on the road through the Pyrenees! So we are going to stay here at least another day.

The scenery has been stunning all the way , we have travelled on roads through the mountains and on vin routes where  the autumn colours have been stunning . We had a wine tasting at 9 30 am  which was a first- even for us!! Needless  to say we had to buy a couple of bottles!

  1. 09.30 wine tastings - living the life you deserve P&P.

    Just watched a great documentary called Mysterious Dance about the life and times of Declan Patrick Aloysius Macmanus, the quote of the whole show came from a chap he collaborated with from New Orleans called Allen Tousssaint: "He's truly gifted, and his gifts were given to the right person because he's shared them so freely". I'm following it up with Later Presents….amazing how you can transform Ironing with the simple addition of a hard-drive recorder.

    Don't get too bummed by the technology - we all remember what you look like innit?

    Safe travels and watch out for that wind.

    p.s. Cooked a very tasty keema mattar - I think you'd approve
