Le Clos Des Pradines Saint-Quentin-la-Poterie

... bit grotty and run down and a bit poor… that does not normally put us off though so not sure what was wrong. The town was under going a fair bit of renovation and rejuvenation work and has a hell of a lot of potential as great place to visit…so perhaps in 5 years that is exactly what it will be. We went for a wander and found the amphitheatre which was like a mini coliseum in the center of town. It ...

... the security of this fortress. Brian scoped out several indents where floor beams had been inserted, and hinges for doors had been drilled, as well as a fireplace opening. After the 1830’s it’s been used for local bull-fights and has been undergoing extensive renovations. Sandblasters pierced our ears and evidence of new stone was everywhere. Part of me was sad to ...

... million pound sterling images that were worthless when Vincent was alive.

Now I think I know, what you tried to say to me
And how you suffered for your sanity, and how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they’re not listening still.
Perhaps they never will.

... was a stop along the way. So we headed to our track. However, the signage was confusing and we ended up going downstairs only to learn we had gone right by our track, which was upstairs. We scurried onto the correct track and hopped on our train with only a couple of minutes to spare.

When we went to our reserved seats, a man was sitting in one of them. It turns out that we were on the wrong car and we had to ...

Curse the Mistral - it has been blowing for 3 days non stop and it is gale force and freezing cold. It appears to have abated slightly this afternoon and our local guide informed us that it stops after either 3 days, 6 days or 9 days so we are hopeful. Last night it ws like sleeping under a jet ready for take off all night. Poor Big Mama got rocked around and it takes a lot to move her. A big ...

... of the dishes (which were written in a flowery script that made the names even harder to decipher), and the waiter struggled to translate. So we thought, well it’ll all be good, and none of it seemed to be brains or tripe, so we each ordered one option of all three courses. One of the first courses was no longer available so we both had a salmon dish. Now I’ve eaten a lot of salmon but this was the best ever – firm ...

... the word until he eventually threw his hands up and yelled out, "OH in-TER-net!". Ok now despite his slight French accent, he pretty much said it in exactly the same way as we had been for the past 5 minutes. So we were all a bit confused by that encounter but glad to have directions for an in-TER-net cafe.

However our problems didn't end there. His directions were... confusing at best. We found ourselves wandering the streets of Avignon with no ...

... spilled. Translation was ok today. I finally figured out how the class works because the professor was actually there today. It's boring. Very boring. But I think it's just the way he does the class. He basically gives us different ways to say the same thing. At least it's boring and I understand it, unlike that immigration class which was boring and confusing. After class, we ...

... a soup which was like an over-crowded city of different vegetables; hardy, smooth sausages with little chickpea beans; an onion, green vegetable, and tofu chunk mixture cooked in a Chinese sauce like soy sauce (amazing!); and rabbit cooked maroon with wine, with stocky mushrooms and prunes. Yep, you definitely eat great while WWOOFing. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go earn my keep. It's nighttime, and I have to hurry outside if I want to ...
