Yes, I had to read that bit twice.

That's one mutha of a bridge. We decided on a couple of nights in Millau. Surprisingly nice town.

We're going to overnight just outside Le Puy-en-Valey tonight and push on in the morning. En-route (tomorrow) we'll either pass through Millau, for views of the bridge, or, pay the toll and go over the bridge. Undecided - but being a tight git, not paying sounds better, and also means you...

Given the shite weather over the German neck of the woods (and with seemingly little chance of improvement in the foreseeable) we've now taken ourselves off to France, and have just passed St Etienne on the way to a bit of Med sun. Just parked up for a spot of lunch and coffee. It feels warmer...

Love the place.

A take by former Wasps scribe Paul Smith: https://www.rugbypass.com/news/deja-vu-all-over-again-for-wasps/

Oh, and great for heating the daily croissants!

We have a fairly cheap (30 quid ish I think) small one from Tower. It works quite well for us as we wanted something small enough and low enough draw so we can use it off the van's 2kw inverter. My dragon loves it. Cubed roasted spuds last night to go with marinated pork steaks and sweetcorn...

Before we downsized to our poxy little (read easy to heat) semi, we had a huge bungalow and there was no gas in the village. I installed a bottled gas system for the hot water and rads, but this was incredibly expensive compared to piped gas, so we ended up not using the central heating at all...

Maybe. Cracking kit, whatever 🤣😉

FWIW (prob not much) I have a Huawei router in my moho, with a small aerial on the roof, which provides a surprising amount of gain, and the router has an EE sim in, which the dragon tops up regularly from her EE unlimited account. Works well, and I never seem to be short of a good enough signal...

With the current regs (London Scottish have used about 20 mainly Quins players this season, and Bedford and Hartpury are almost as big offenders) no doubt their PRL friends will be extra helpful next season. Cos everybody knows, Wasps belong in the Prem...

Nice, huh?

We've made it down to the blue Danube now, at Donauwörth on the Romantische Straße. Quite how Beck thought it was blue when he described it as such in his poem - or Strauss' waltz too, later - I have no idea. Brown. Decidedly brown. Donauwörth, however, is quite beautiful, and well worth a look...

I was browsing that yesterday. He really can't help himself. Terminally deluded Treacletown twat.

Just touring mate. Life's one long holiday since retiring 13 years ago 😉 3500 miles through France and Spain last autumn, so we thought it about time! Was hoping for slightly more settled weather, but it should improve. Full blue skies at the mo though, and the river is sparkling in front of me...

Bloody cold last night in Ingelheim (on the Rheingau, near Mainz). Pyjamas, socks, and fleece top on in bed. Nearly resorted to a hot water bottle! Much colder than the previous three nights in Bernkastel/Mosel. Slightly warmer tonight here just east of Heidelberg on the Neckar river, plus we're...

Thinking about it, we had our papers from the newsy up the top of Hall Green Road hill, opposite the Building Society. I guess you delivered from the one opposite the Manor House terminus?

No. 134. Near the top end of the new (well, 1956) bit, on the right (obvs!). Whereabouts did Bob lodge? I don't recall that at all. Talking mid-sixties presumably?

That makes far more sense. Ta!
