It's wet and windy today, but we still set off for Uzès and the Pont du Gard. Uzès has a nice feel and because it is out of season and raining, there are few people about which makes for a more pleasurable experience. Uzès has a very good market on Saturday but I must admit to getting fed up at hearing all the English voices, so we tend not to go. Notwithstanding that, it is a very nice town and we enjoy the visit. The Pont du Gard is a World Heritage Site and is always worth a visit. Did the rain dampen our spirits? Bloody right it did.
We drove back home via Nîmes and happened to pass a Foreign Legion barracks on the way. The women seemed more interested in the soldiers, in their immaculate, smart, dress uniforms than in anything else we had seen. At least I made their day.
Because it was still raining, I drove them around Nîmes to see the Maison Carré and the Arène and then hightailed it back to a relieved Max. Bless.

Dinner tonight comprised various tapenades on grilled toast, including a confit d'olives, a sweet olive jam (to die for), salmon parcels with a Thai topping, cheeses and a fresh fruit salad.
