The worst has happened and we will need to come back post
haste. Yes, we have run out of PG tip tea bags! We are making do with Twinings
but it’s just not the same.

| Devilish Digits |
After reading Holy Blood Holy Grail in the eighties I have
always wanted to go to Rennes-Le-Chateau and today we did just that. It’s a
stunning place and the church is fascinating. What other church has a gigantic
devil holding up the font by the entrance door? And the place certainly has a buzz
about it. The few shops that are there are making the most of the whole ‘Dan
Brown Thing’ and you can’t blame them. It’s a bit like a mini Glastonbury with
esoteric bookshops, angel and unicorn merchants, and one can even buy branded
wine.

| Hugo loving Campan |
Our drive through the Pyrenees over these last few days has
been absolutely gorgeous. Imagine our amusement when we were in a tiny mountain
village called Campan and we came across an English tea shop doing fish and
chips (and not in a Costa Del Sol way) – not quite the French cheese we had
been craving but of course we had to indulge. We parked by a river packed with
fish and Hugo enjoyed whizzing around the green fields with no fear of being
run over (he has no road sense whatsoever).
