Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “route/root.” Use one, use both, use them as they are, or add something to them. Have fun!
The route to Mirmand from Charnazay!
Today we set off from our lovely Gite in the Loire valley and drove 382 miles down through France and up into to the Rhone Alps! The route we took was a mixture of motorway and twisty turny mountain roads with BIG drops! and signs in French saying Motor Bikes beware and no overtaking… but the French motorists do not seem to take any notice! I hasten to add we did!
The wifi here is very sketchy and I am standing out in a courtyard over looking a beautiful valley not that I can see it because it is pitch black but I have a fabulous view of the stars and the moon. Consequently this will be a short post.
We found our way down to the ancient town of Mirmand a five to ten minute route from our little stone cottage and found a restaurant and had a meal of root vegetable Lasagna followed by cheese cake. Then fortified by a glass of red wine we found our way back by the same route but this time in totally blackness!

Here are the rules:
1. Your post must be stream of consciousness writing, meaning no editing, (typos can be fixed) and minimal planning on what you’re going to write.
2. Your post can be as long or as short as you want it to be. One sentence – one thousand words. Fact, fiction, poetry – it doesn’t matter. Just let the words carry you along until you’re ready to stop.
3. There will be a prompt every week. Linda will post the prompt on her blog on Friday, along with a reminder for you to join in. The prompt will be one random thing, but it will not be a subject. For instance, Linda will not say “Write about dogs”; the prompt will be more like, “Make your first sentence a question,” or “Begin with the word ‘The’.”
4. Ping back! It’s important, so that Linda and other people can come and read your post! For example, in your post you can write “This post is part of SoCS:” and then copy and paste the URL found in your address bar at the top of Linda’s post into yours. Your link will show up in Linda’s comments, for everyone to see. The most recent pingbacks will be found at the top.
5. Read at least one other person’s blog who has linked back their post. Even better, read everyone’s! If you’re the first person to link back, you can check back later, or go to the previous week, by following my category, “Stream of Consciousness Saturday,” which you’ll find right below the “Like” button on Linda’s post.
6. Copy and paste the rules (if you’d like to) in your post. The more people who join in, the more new bloggers you’ll meet and the bigger your community will get!
7. Have fun!
