Again, not sure where but I stopped exactly here a couple of years ago, it's the point at which I regret, this year and two years ago, not having stopped to buy food in St Ambroix because I now realise I'm starving.  Can't remember what I had to eat either I think all I had was some energy bar and water.  Not exactly the best that french gastronomy has to offer.

Whatever it was I was eating I wasn't eating it fast enough for the small dog who lived in the garden next to where I had stopped.  A pug with attitude, who was vociferously keen to see me gone.  Yap, yap and bleedin' yap until I couldn't stand it any more.

The rollover to this image is a photo of the beautiful blue flowers that you see everywhere, I was told they're called "len" a word I've not found in the dictionary, but having looked them up I find they're chicory. 

I think this is the Gard, just after Vézénobres, pretty, but my notes say slow, poor tarmac all the way to Lézan.

At Lézan I couldn't find the road out, this in spite of having a gps and in spite of the fact I'd also got lost here two years ago.  Part of the problem came because I was asking the way to Attuech rather than Massillargues-Attuech. 

I did manage to get some water though, I mention this because everywhere was shut.  In the end some teenager types instructed some much younger kid on a bike to take me to where there was a tap.

I couldn't believe it, all my bad luck with photographing birds was ended.  This hawk, stayed put while I parked, fumbled, found my camera and took this photo of him.

It was funny that along the route, part of which I'd done before, some parts I remembered vividly and other parts I don't remember seeing before, ever.
