We headed south-east for about 150 miles, passing the towns of Albi and Castres, to L'Herault region of southern France, again taking its name from a river flowing through it. We stopped for lunch at a nice little town called St Pons de Thomiere in the market place where the staff had to criss-cross a busy road to serve the tables from a bar across the street. When we arrived at Neffies where Sheila and David live, the temperature was 38 in the shade. They have a truly beautiful house and garden and swimming pool, which it didn't take long for us to get into, where we were promptly served with bubbly. We were wined and dined throughout our three day stay, and taken to some beautiful spots - a French market at St Chinian and the Noilly Prat centre at Marseillan on the Med. On the left you can see the view overlooking Neffies and on the right you can see me looking out to the Med.
