Tyre inflation on the go, connected airlines to wheel centres.
Pornic, not Pornhub 
, Pornic in N/W France just down from St Nazaire and what looked like the Dartford crossing.
Lovely place, all neat and tidy and geared up for tourism but has what looks to be a nice little side hustle going on with repurposed amenity planting areas.
I'm not into this sort of thing but the wife crushed a leaf between thumb and finger and assured me it's probably a strain called "Northern Lights" can I use this for herbal tea or rub it on my neck to relieve neck ache from driving hundreds of Kms at 90kmph?

Probably perfectly legal there. Just like every other civilised country but here. I’m not sure about France. It is legal in Germany.Pornic, not Pornhub

Still illegal here even though the UK grows more cannabis for medicinal use than any other country in the world.
The guy who set up the huge industry growing it in the UK is Theresa May’s husband.
I believe he has sold it now.
So perfectly happy to profit of it at the same time as criminalising thousands of people at huge expense to the tax payers.
Instead of taxing it and regulating it like most of the rest of the world.
Well this might interest a few, spotted at the Dene Steam Rally today (which has a bit of every country show exhibit as well)
Mostly I'm here to see beauties like this absolute beast of a traction engine 
Love that sort of thing/event. years since I visited one though. I remember an unfortunate event at a farm show in Mid Wales many years ago. A waiting traction engine did a short turn into a field containing Shire and other Heavy Horses. A Shire was pulling a very heavy cart bolted and loads of people were shouting and screaming warnings as the Shire and cart pounded at speed away from the traction engine. The traction engine as it turned appeared to make more noise as it turned with the pistons perhaps moving faster anyway the Shire was very spooked, a young animal I think Unfortunately it ran right over a man the cart bucking as it went over. Evidently the man was deaf and did not here the intensified warnings and did not know what happened. news seemed to avoid papers at the time and I am not even sure from memory very long time ago that the Coroner had all the details either. That is very typical in country areas it was most probably felt it would not serve any useful purpose but in fact it may have done because the two attractions are best left separated by a gap in space and time. A shire out of control is very serious with horse weighing about 1 ton and similar for the 4 wheeled cart I would have thought at least. Love both attractions.Mostly I'm here to see beauties like this absolute beast of a traction engine
I was there at that steam rally showing my old Sunbeam motorbike and what I remember there were helicopter rides which were to close to where the Shirehorse was the helicopter started up the horse bolted and killed the owner of the horse and cart.
Nantes today and a mighty hefalump...
Yup, we went on it and squealed like proper girlies.

That was at Llandysul closer to Horeb. We where very close, there where helicopter rides but defiantly a traction engine spooked the horse. We where shocked even before the horse had bolted what on earth posses anyone to bring a traction engine so close to field of horses only one engine did that. May have been mistake.
Did you go to the steak tartar restaurant? cigale or something, best anywhere!Nantes today and a mighty hefalump...

Here's a belated picture of our pitch with plenty of shade which has been badly needed due to it hitting the early 40s by mid afternoon which even for someone who has spent what seems like half their life in very hot climates is starting to feel a bit extreme (so much so that we've decided to bail from S of France and head back north tomorrow). That said, heat aside, I can heartily recommend the Ageles / Collioure area. and this particular site.

We have been here 6 weeks now - our favourite place in Beaumes-de-Venise in the Vaucluse. If you like cycling this area is fantastic. Mid 30's temperature wise so hot, but not OMG hot. Secret weapon just to the back of the roof.
Quite a few of these little chaps/chappesses. Jumping spiders but with really chunky front legs that makes them look as if they have been working out. You can just imagine them saying "Did you spill my pint?"..

First time camping with both the youngest and wife sharing the bed. The wife ended up sleeping in the passengers seat so think I need to rethink the sleeping arrangements 
We spent all day on the beach at Branscombe then stayed over night in the car park for a reasonable £15. They have toilets open during the night too.
