Maximum temperature 12C, minimum -2C.  12 kmh N wind, 15 km/h gusts.  Overcast with some sun, rain around but we mostly missed it, chilly wind.  Ice on the birdbath this morning!  1mm rain measured. 

Driving through the Charente forests...

Looking across fields of winter wheat...

 into the department of Vienne and the town of Pressac...

down twisty lanes...

and we arrived at the Circuit Val de Vienne.

The cars were on the Optic 2000 rally from Paris to Biarritz, this was one of the places where they stopped to take a drive around the track.

The supermarket building about 100 metres in the background!

Driving home the ghostly rising sun through the mist...

which later cleared slightly. Photos taken through the windscreen of our car.

Closer to home the mist has still not quite gone.
