OK, it cost €19. I don't know where Tim Rogers gets his hair cut - but having seen it, I wouldn't want to go there anyway. Jayne also had her colour touched up. It was a stressful experience, but it was all good in the end. The hairdresser didn't speak English and while Jayne's French is more than passable, hairdresser language is rather specific and not in the dictionary.
That occupied our morning, which was a good thing because the rain has continued. It is supposed to clear tonight, but in the interim, we have decided not to go visiting the sights because they are generally outdoors. Anyway, we still need to confirm accommodation after Provence, so I have a bit of internet work to do. The British school holidays have begun and that is having an impact on the availability of accommodation. Not to mention that next weekend is another long weekend in France!
Itinerary update
We are here in Vaison la Romaine (Provence) until Saturday the 26th. After that we are heading north again to get closer to Paris. From the 26th till the 30th we are staying in a converted barn on the land of a chateau near the village of Dracy which is about 45 minutes from Beaune. Check it out, http://www.france4two.net/index.cfm?sid=26977&pid=413222 we are staying in Pinot Blanc. Following that we will be somewhere around Reims, champagne country, until June 2nd. From then until the 14th we are in Paris and after that ... well, the Loire valley and Alsace/Lorraine, but we're not sure where.

The rain has continued, although it is much lighter this afternoon. We managed to walk into the village and back which took about an hour. Thankfully the rain held off until we got home - Jayne would have killed me otherwise. You know, straightened hair and rain don't get on.
So, it's almost happy hour and then it'll be time for me to cook dinner. Pasta with fresh tomatoes, zucchini, garlic and ham. Quite tasty.
au revoir

I think Tim Roger's haircut looks just fine.
ReplyDeleteAnd back in the day there was a chain of barber stores all round town offering haircuts for $6 or less. Most of the barbers looked like gaol-birds, and probably were.
Gowings was one such a place where you could nab the $5 trim.
FYFI: Gowings recently opened as a boutique hotel, complete with said barber shop. Cuthroat razor shave available. Fair sight more than a fiver though I would guess.
Other space in building occupied by TopShop and TopMan. A brand you're no doubt highly familiar with, traipsing around the UK.
