A Grand Day Out

Good to hear from you Carolyn/Chris - so sorry about your weather back home and the ongoing car problem. Housegroup must have been fun! Things have started to look up in leaps and bounds here - we had hoped that spring would arrive but today Summer came! Our first real T shirt day! Keith and Tessa had hair dressing appointments in Arles this morning, so we had no excuse but to tag along too, spend a couple of sunny hours strolling through the beautiful old town, standing in awe of the Roman arena, amphitheatre, Espace Van Gogh, Place du Forum and more before meeting up with K & T to sample their favourite restaurant with them. What a life eh? Then came Keith's Grand Tour - Daudet's Mill - Les Baux, wonderful rocky scenery with a village perched on top - Van Gogh's Asylum, the hospital he went to after he cut off his ear and where he painted many many of his famous works - St. Rémy de Provence for a welcome drink - home journey with us girls snoozing in the back. What pleasant exhaustion!
Leaving here some time tomorrow, so either back to the limited blog time or short texts via Craig. Had a lovely few days, but looking forward to being back in the van.
Comments always welcome!
