Do you know, just seen 2 artics head through Murol, all coloured up and obviously part of the tour circus, hooting and hollering, with the locals cheering them on and waving! Artics!
Whats the matter with these folk?

There’s some good roads around here in most directions, the range where I shoot is in a disused quarry near St Christophe
A lovely day today.
Made our wzy through lovely quiet lanes....those near Murol had legions of campervans parked on every available bit of verge, cooncil workers with road sweepers, blower etc, so I concluded some peddly bike extravaganza must be headed this way.
And on through the rolling Auvergne hills to the Monts de Cantal...a disused volcano..up to Puy Mary

The MRA routeplanner is brilliant. Did routes and popped them in to the Nav6; they/it worked fine.
The MRA nav app however...work in progress and not to be depended on sadly.
A couple of times after restarting the car and navigation it told me Ineeded an account, and required that I log in again. It also through another wobbly and went to grey screen mode a couple of times.
The lady doing the nav directions went to the Winston Churchill French School...quite amusing.

A beautiful medieval ..ooops....town in a stunning setting....even the local reptiles came to pay their respects...
The foie gras was ...again ...irresistible, and having eaten its liver I felt obliged to eat the rest of it...
After our supper we found 'le petit train',
and went fo a wee tour, to see the town and sights with floodlights...

A bit of a dry ship there.
I'm reading that while having visions of Anthony Hopkins in a cell, Gerry!
Looks highly edible though! 
Lots more food pics please!
Yer buns got maggots all over it
Keep my buns out of this...Yer buns got maggots all over it
View from my breakfast table...
A wee donder round the medieval town steeped in history...it was owned by the English twice!
