Driving

For the first week of work, I drove in with Rory and he would pick me up but then I would drive back. The reason for this was that I would need to get used to the route and I would also need to get used to driving on the other side of the road from what I'm used to.

This week, I've been driving solo and I have to say that I really do enjoy driving on these 'country' roads.

Firstly, the roads are quite empty.

Secondly, the drive is quite scenic.
Lastly, it's an interesting drive with some severe elevation changes.

However, the roads can be very narrow at certain places and the French drivers will not give you space when it gets narrow and I often find myself practically driving in the mud!

As you can see, I'm driving a Peugeot 306 hatchback. It's quite a nippy car and much more fun to drive than a Volvo!

Anyway, the weather's still quite bad and there are supposed to be 100km/h winds coming in so not sure if I can play golf tomorrow (Saturday).
