Saint Roch Avignon

... 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 ...

... rain finally stopped after nearly a week so we were able to enjoy some out of Scooby time!

Saturday 7 Nov
Forecasted for rain today but it held off until late afternoon which gave me time to replace the washer in the gear box and for Kim to go for a run, which she was hankering for as she had been getting a little cabin fever of late due to the rain and lack of exercise/time outside!

... than the amphitheater, it was a semi-circular shape and only seated 10 000. Not much remains but 2 columns, 6 bits of columns, and piles and piles of rubble with fantastic carvings on them. It’s amazing to think of a nation who worked so ***********quer other lands. And not just conquer, but build amazing structures, theaters, coliseums, walls, and aqua-ducts. And other ...

... add details, and as Vincent so skillfully did: show movement and texture with brush strokes. As I photographer, I must only capture what is there. Although I can make some minute adjustments, it’s reality. So many times I wish a tree would just move to the left, the shadow would fall differently, or that a person would get out of the way! In the few ...

... steaming in a pot with sweet onions and a thin basil-cream sauce. I might have liked it a tad less salty, but I got past that minor shortcoming by introducing bits of baguette to the mix. For dessert I had a chilled ganache that was sprinkled with pecans and rolled in a tortilla, sliced into medallions and served with creme anglaise and whipped cream. Lucy had some profiteroles. Both were chocolate heaven.

... Venice the sun was setting and it seemed the perfect time to put our tourist hats on and go for a gondola ride. I spent some time surveying the different gondoliers who were competing for our business and selected a young chap who would look suitable in our photos and had a reasonable grasp of English. Once we had expressed our interest and got settled down in the gondola it became apparent that this nice young gentleman was the 'salesman' and he ...

... degrees) and then something twigs - see picture below!!! Heather is stood at the Min bus stop - can you guess where the hostel is???? Apart from that Avignon is a glorious town surrounded by thick medievil walls which put the bar walls to shame! Today we visited the Palais Des Papes - a gorgeous palace at the top of the town. After which we enjoyed a visit to Rocher Des ...

... rich. I do not think the cook had any idea of the portions required. I can just see him/her looking at the scribbled instructions for the entrée, breaking up some bread in a bowl (as it no doubt said), covering with a portion of camembert (as it no doubt said) and sliding it under the grill until brown (as it no doubt said). What was not said was the word small. Our main course was duck but it was served with an evil tasting black, burnt, mushroom mess and a ratatoui ...
