On top of old smokey




Along with about 30 other hardy souls we took the dogs for a walk up a mountain yesterday. Most people would call it a hill but believe me as I dragged my unfit body up this monster it definitely felt like a mountain. My mate Bryan does the recce for these walks and I'm going to have to have a word with him.

La Tour de Guet de La Liquiere is a fire watch tower perched high above the surrounding countryside near Calvisson, so high that you can just see Mont Ventoux in the distance (just to the right of Jan's head above). Given that it would take over an hour to drive on a motorway to Ventoux you can imagine how high we were. Still it was a good walk and Max and Minnie had a great time with the other dogs and Minnie had a particularly good time with her friend Arri. Arri was looking to be more than just 'good friends' and, typically for a female, she told him in no uncertain terms that she wasn't in the mood. Not much changes really.
