Virtual cruise Lyon to Avignon and Arles

OK then (sigh).
How about a parfumier to teach us the art of essential oil making?
A lot of us have a good nose, attuned to pongs.
Years in the Argy honed our skills...

Je sais quand je sens le poisson ?

Whatever!

Oh yes ixion I have a very good nose. Very good at pongs ?
Sorry Maw Je non comprehendo de lingo. Does that mean you want fish and chips for dinner. Do they have chippies in France?

Local Camargue specialty Doodle.
Best start peeling your pommes de terre.

Nothing de terred (see what I did there?)

Ça sent Le poisson = smelling something fishy

Blimey! Better get that in the deep fat fryer tout-de-suite else it'll start to hum more than Mr J. Peasmold Gruntfuttock.

He looks a bit, well, glum.
Anyone remember the Glums on the radio?
Ron and Ett?

You always did have an eye for a big one ixion
Not surprised you smelt something fishy Maw it’s huge….did we need a fishing licence? ?

Aapologies for repeating this- ipad ran out of battery half way through!

Feeling mellow and relaxed ? and with a glass of something soft and luscious in hand, think Beaumes de Venise perhaps, I’m in the mood for a bit of Charles Trenet and all those lovely key changes (if you feel like listening)
La mer
Qu'on voit danser
Le long des golfes clairs
A des reflets d'argent
La mer
Des reflets changeants
Sous la pluie
La mer
Qu'au ciel d'été confond
Ses blancs moutons
Avec les anges si purs
La mer
Bergère d'azur, infinie etc
If you can forgive me a link, he sings it much better

A week ago, this boat was drowning
We rescued it with serious clowning
A week now gone, this boat is cruising
It’s quiet now, people are snoozing
So at this mellow end of day
We’ll settle down with Charles Trenet
And raise a glass to next week’s banter
We’ll see white horses run and canter
And long-legged birds with feathers pink
Their necks bowed low to take a drink
What comes next is hard to say
We may just take it day-by-day
Linger here, no pressures weigh
Time enough to reach Marseille

Aaah yes. La mer. Beautiful. Thanks Maw et al. Here’s to next week. ??

Bonjour tout le monde!
Time for some croissants, pains au chocolat and bols de café, oui?
Then perhaps a gentle promenade and a little sightseeing?
Finally a foolproof way of reducing the calorific impact of our Cordon Bleu cook when weighing yourself, as demonstrated by les flamants roses ?

If you look very closely at the pic of the Van Gogh museum, it would appear to be taken by someone called François Deladerrière.
Call me childish , but ??????

Ooh, un peu haut-marché but I'm jeu

The breakfast table, by Van Gogh.
More oranges and lemons, I'm trying to get into shape for the beach photo in Cannes. ? ? ?

He looks positively knackered Doodle.
What did you do to him last night?

Changed my mind. I might have peaches for my breakfast. Need to perfect my peachy Renault Mégane derrière as befitting my image. Va va vroom. Maybe Thierry Henri could come along in the photo?

Comme ça

Papa? Nicole!
