So, a bit of a traffic jam into town is not uncommon, but this one was more interesting… It appears a Renault hatchback decided to explode and the firemen got stuck in. All rather dramatic and resulting in an above average bus ride home.

(Don’t worry – the family who were in it all got out fine and saved the contents of the car before it turned into an inferno).

If Felix ever asks you if you want to bike from Ruinettes to Attelas, feel free to say no.

And it does provide an even better excuse than normal to have a beer in Chez Dany…
