\"st<\/a>… since I took a pic from the birdwatching platform near St Gervais d’Auvergne just up the road from where Liz and Terry live?<\/p>\n

Quite some considerable time, I bet.<\/p>\n

I was up and about quite early (well, early for me anyway) this morning and after something of a hasty breakfast, in the words of the great Mars Bonfire I got my motor running and headed out for the Highway<\/a>
<\/p>\n

\"st<\/a>It was a cool damp morning but it was heating up quite quickly (well, for this time of year anyway) and this was causing the mist to rise out of all the hollows.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t half look impressive when it does that, particularly from up here, and you don’t need any guesses to work out exactly where the Gorges de la Sioule might be when it’s like this. It didn’t half look impressive and it’s one of the sights that everyone should aim to see when they come to visit the Combrailles.<\/p>\n

Liz and Terry’s house is down there somewhere and sure enough, they were bathed in mist when I arrived.
<\/p>\n

Anyway, I picked Liz up and we went to Gerzat for the Radio Arverne sessions of Radio Anglais<\/a>. We were there for just after 10:00 and so we went for a walk around the town for 20 minutes before Bernard turned up.<\/p>\n

It took just over an hour to record the four sessions today – even though Bernard was rather … errr … confused and disorientated. He just now has rather a lot of editing to do.<\/p>\n

Back at Liz and Terry’s, Terry and I had quite a long chat about things and then I came back here.<\/p>\n

It was raining of course after lunch and so in a change of plan I’ve done a huge amount of tidying up on the ground floor and the first floor and it actually looks like something now to a certain degree. I’ve also done some tidying up outside and that has helped, especially as the vegetation is now dying down for winter and some lost articles are now coming into view.<\/p>\n

And tidying up as well. How about that? And to tell you the truth I would have been tidying up this afternoon even if the weather had been absolutely gorgeous because there is a cunning plan looming in the background.<\/p>\n
