Vendredi… another scorcher!
Jul 27th 2007PeterGetting My Life Back!
It was indeed a scorcher today! Mark and Sue had some work they wanted to do on the house, so Felicity and I drove down to Sarlat, a medieval town about 90 minutes drive away. The pictures are in The Gallery but there are a couple shown here. This one is of the interior of the Cathedral in the town, with Felicity in the foreground!
The Perigord region is famed for its distilled fruit alcohols, and we were surprised to find the mobile still outside one of the shops in Sarlat. 
It used to travel round to the farms in the area – distilling the fermented fruit juices! Sounds like a good job to me! Sadly we didn’t get a chance to sample the products – strong alcohol still affects my throat, although I had little difficulty with a beer with the meal in one of the street restaurants!
We continued wandering round, with a bit of shopping (some sun glasses for me and a few other bits and pieces) before we headed back to the house and a welcome dip in the pool – up another degree today at 25C!
That was followed by a BBQ in the warm evening! I’m delighted to report that my appetite is still good, and the improvement in my mouth condition seems to be holding up – although the sausages we had on the BBQ were a bit too spicy for me!
Vicki has also sent me some photos of Olivia and Max! Space precludes their inclusion here this time – (although they are in The Gallery) I will post them here when I get home. And talking of Olivia, she has just cut her first tooth!
O&U!
