Autumn, paintings, golden and seen with winter they seem to be arm in arm here in the South of the Tarn this year. There are green leaves on some trees, all inviting subjects for paintings. Vines and others offer autumn golds while the nearby mountains adopt their snow caps.
Mayrages that is, and my friend, proprietor Alan Geddes.

Wish you where here ?
After an 8 hr 45 minute drive I arrived safely at the house of my friend Hervé Boitel in the Tarn department.
I drove through a mixture of heavy rain and bright sunshine, yet again wishing I had a co driver.

I stopped en route at the Aire de Vendee and as it was raining in fair imitation of a tropical downpour and chilly too, I ignored my salmon and mayo sandwiches and treated myself to a nice hot meal.
My mostly very good driving record was blotted for me by my car being side swiped in heavy traffic on the Bordeaux periferique by a driver who did not stop.
That will set me back 90 € for the damage excess on my insurance …
Such is life, I’m shipshape and the car will benefit from a respray on that side.
