Jeudi… La soleil brille encore!
Jul 26th 2007PeterGetting My Life Back!
Another hot day today, and we were up earlier than normal for a run to the boulangerie for some croissants and pain-au-chocolat (no bacon sarnies though) and then after breakfast we went off to the picturesque town of Brantome – known as the Venice of France. Well, it did have a rather pretty river (which surrounds the town) but hardly Venice. However it was very pretty and we spent four or five hours there, looking round and having lunch. The photographs, as always, are in The Gallery. 
However the picture at the top shows our group, looking out over the river (apart from Mark – who is photographing the photographer!)
We stayed for lunch in the town – I really enjoyed Moules et Frites – Mussels and chips – with a beer and some Frech bread. Delicious!! We contined with a wander around the town, taking in an ice cream, before heading back to the house where we spent the remainder of the afternoon round (and in) the pool! (Taking care, in my case, to avoid to much sun!)
So another good day – Onwards and Upwards!
