A brief trot

After a weekend of cold, damp weather, today has been clearer and brighter, so I took Taff out for a stretch of the legs this afternoon and did the Col de Port 'route forestière' circuit which was an enjoyable if not somewhat muddy circuit of just 8kms. Although short, it included a nice steady ascent of 400m which gave me the chance to push harder which was fun. I was back at the car within 55 minutes, which was a good time. The sun was fighting with the clouds over the mountains as I made my way back down towards Pissou which made for a nice pic.Other than that, we have today bottled the second batch of 10ltrs of cider - we have made this one slightly sweeter and my goodness, it is appley, very tasty and very very quaffable!
