Aups
17. september 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Very bright clear sunshine wakes us up here in Aups. Forecast is great for the next week so they ave decided to stop here another 3 nights, which will give me a bit of a rest I can tell you. Today its market day in Aups, and they luv a French Market them two. So off they trot leaving me to kip. Well the markets great and they buy honey from lavender bees, Provencale herbs, fruit, and herself a cashmere scarf (great, it does get quite cool at night here!).
A wander round the quaint mediaeval town with narrow alleyways they visit a charcuterie and buy a home made lasagne and chicken , and the boucher man cuts them two nice slices of beef steak for their bbq later.
Lunch with a couple of beers and a stroll home for a sit round the pool. Luverley.Les mer

Haut Provence villages (well 3 of them)!
18. september 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Hot and sunny and I am enjoying my break when they decide to go out and about today to explore. Luckily it ay too far, and the parking is easy. One good think about the French they love motorhomes and there is always facilities to park, usually at no cost, he loves that!
Villecroze is first, a small walled village with tiny alleyways, shafts of sunshine darting down, a lovely amble round. THE Cascades to a grotto lake are closed though, but the lack of rain probably means they day miss much.
Siilians is next, smallest and again water cascades from the hills but quite a walk to view, and again lack of water. So they have a lunch instead.
Last is Cotignac again very pleasant with quaint streets and alleyways. There is troglodyte caves up in the cliffs but its a good old climb in hot sunshine so...... nah.
Back to our site and a sit in the sun, we must be on a flight path so herself tracks all the aircraft overhead. Thanks Mrs Mc!Les mer

Reisende It was very weird walking down the alley to find a mirror on the wall. The pizza was the third one in three days. We shared it and the tomato and mozzarella salad, it was beautiful so thin and crisp.

This first picture is for you Jen and Sarah, can you see what it is.
This is a wonderful French idea, a post box for dog poo. You just pop it in a bag and post it off to someone else to dispose of it for you, or if you didn't like somebody....... Surprise!!Les mer

The Queen, and a falling down
19. september 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Well we have stopped here at Aups for another day primarily to witness the funeral of the only monarch we have ever known in our lives. Our mifi device drops in and out but we witness this once in a lifetime event and marvel at the pageantry which we excel at. Glasses are raised in a toast at lunch........ God bless her.
Then it goes tits up......
Himself goes off to the swimming pool and is bubbling away in the jacuzzi when she sets out to follow him and trips on the uneven pathway, Down she goes and scrapes her knee, elbow, and wrenches her already poorly neck. Back to the van for medical attention. and ibruophen to help the pain. Thankfully not much blood but very painful. By the evening it's little better thankfully and hopefully a good nights sleep will help.
God Save The King.Les mer

Glad you got to see some of the funeral, but not so good falling down!! Hope you're not too sore Deb and back bit easier. [Fiona]

Reisende No lasting damage apart from to my pride. Left hand is the worst, took all my weight, and let's face it there's more of that now than there was.

Now he's a gonna as well!
20. september 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
What's goin on with these two? We are due to move on today.... then he twists his back putting his socks on and he cor sit, stand or walk for the pain. Brilliant. So as she ain't in proper good order, an he cor move, they decide to spend another day/night here in the hope things will improve for tomorrow. Luckily the weather is fantastic so they soak up the sun an he meks it to the jacuzzi hoping the bubbles will help his back. Later on they hobble off to the town slowly for some exercise and a drink and also stock up on the ibroprufen tablets for them both.
Luckily I'm OK but I cor drive meself, so fingers crossed tomorrow improves for the two of them or we'll be here for Xmas.Les mer

Walking wounded movin on
21. september 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
Well they're up and we are movin on, very slow and gently some of us. The plan is to move into Western Provence notably the Luberon Valley area. Olive trees, grape vines and more lavender fields, and villages that time forgot.
We first head north to skirt round Lac de ste Croix, one of the largest lakes/reservoirs in France, or would be but the drought has reduced the level considerably.
We then head west to Apt a sizeable town in the Luberon valley to a campsite only 300m from the town. After lunch they wander off for a tour of the town and ice creams.Les mer

One step at a time, fently does it. Catching up with your antics whilst standing I the Avis car rental Q in Orlando......new terminal great, BUT car rental places still under construction so had to get monorail and 5 lifts (wheelchair!)

Roussillon
22. september 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
Well we are avin another day here at the campsite in Apt. But we am all off to ave a butchers at some of the typically Provence hillside villages.
First up is, Roussillon and its market day today so they am lovin that. This is also a place renown for its highly coloured ochre rocks and artisian shops and arty farty galleries. Parking up as usual in these villages is very easy, and they wander off round the very pretty village with fantastic vistas of the Luberon valley, and then tour the market before taking the trail out the village to see the ochre rock formations. Very nice they are but they abandon the trail as it gets very steep up and down in places, and they are both still struggling with their, ailments.
So they return to ave a bit of lunch before we trundle on along the quiet country roads with grape vines all around us to the next village they want to explore.Les mer

Bonnieviux
22. september 2022, Frankrike ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
We trundle up the hillside and park up at the bottom of the hillside village of Bonnieviux. Again typically the parking is free an even for a big lump like me very spacious. The old Frenchies really embrace and welcome us motorhomes, and rarely put up barriers to deter us visiting places of interest, unlike back in Blighty where they doh like us to stop and spend money in local shops, bars and restaurants. I'll just get off me soapbox now! They saunter off to visit this wonderful scenic time forgotten hillside village , but bugger me it ay arf a steep climb.! So they have to stop for refreshments, But again the views across the Luberon Valley is fantastic and worth their efforts. So suitably knackered we return back to our site in Apt fer the night.Les mer
