    Temperatures last few days have been very hot. Got in the car. It said 44c. So as much shade as possible, lots of drinks.
    Puycelsi stands on a rocky spur overlooking the Vere valley. It is also a Beaux village: stone and half timbered buildings, picturesque narrow lanes.
    Castelnau de montmiral is a beaux village on a hill top with white stone facades, cobbled streets, with a magnificent view. All witness to the medieval history. The church of Notre Dame.
    Both are unspoilt by time.
    A storm was forecast, and clouds were magnificent. Still very hot, then the wind got up, and we shot in the van, that was it!. They say temps will drop to 29c then back up again to late 30c.
