France for Xmas!

Well, after a mammoth trip by car, setting off from Woking at 3am (!) on Monday this week, I am now down in Languedoc region of France with the folks.

Made it down the same day as I set off, using the Dover-Calais ferry to transport me and the Merc across the channel, then driving the 600-odd miles from top of France to bottom, eventually getting to their place around 8pm local time.

Man that's a journey and a half to do in a day!

Anyway, its all good, the car didn't miss a beat, apart from the brake pads finally packing up (which I got sorted today by the nice mechanic literally across the road), which I should have suspected since the warning light had been flickering since I bought the car!

With any luck after Xmas on Saturday there's a good chance I'll be heading off to the Pyrenees with the folks, to check out the slopes :-)



Naturally I'll be behaving myself if there are any of the above on the slopes :-D
