Wednesday… En France!
Sep 16th 2009PeterGetting My Life Back!
We had a very pleasant crossing on the fast catamaran on Sunday, the channel almost like a millpond, and warm sunshine, which followed us all the way down to the northern tip of the Dordogne, just south of Limoges. We arrived just in time to see a spectacular sunset, as we opened up the house and sorted ourselves out.
Monday was a little overcast, but we started getting the pool ready (it needed a bit of a clean) and some shopping – the prices are a bit of a shock, given the weakness of the pound, although in terms of euros, not a lot higher than when we were here 18 months ago.
Yesterday started off very damp, with some showers, but the sun came out in the afternoon, and the pool looked very inviting, although not quite warm enough.
The clear skies lead to a cool evening – just the encouragement we needed to light the fire!
And today was still looking a bit overcast, so we headed south to the medieval city of Domme, perched high in the hills overlooking the Dordogne itself. 
The sun came out during the journey, and we arrived in warm summer temperatures – just right for sitting outside a brasserie for lunch! That was followed by a stroll round the town, with its spectacular views, and a trip to the caves in the hill that supports the town.
The forecast tomorrow and Friday is for better weather, and the pool should be up to temperature – but regardless of the weather, its just great to be having a break! Thanks again to Sue and Mark!
Onwards and Upwards!
