The end of June/early July is Lavender season in Provence - the colours are incredible against the bright blue sky with the sound of the Cicadas singing.



In the name of research we took a day out today to the Gorge de la Nesque, at the foot of Mont Ventoux the drive and scenary are spectacular. Another gem of Provence!




This is the view of the valley towards the village of Sault,once engulfed by the Ocean.
.

As well as visiting some wine Domaines (in the interest of our business!) where we were forced to taste and buy wine we stopped and bought cherries as they were being picked.



My catch , a crate of succulent red plump cherries, over 5 kilos for 10 Euros.



And finally - is this not one of the nicest post offices you have seen? should it not be a restaurant?



Fancy living here? not the quietest spot!



and Gentlemen - imagine your 6 foot tall , desperate for a pee - these are the public toilets! and you get the one on the left - you might leave with a stiff xxxx
NECK!
