That’s the question on our lips. The weather at home has been awful, we have lovely weather and are only 100 miles from the Spanish border.
We spent the morning in the medieval town of Najac with Suzy and Dave. It was market day, the town is beautiful and was buzzing with a selection of stall holders and small artisan shops. Well worth a visit.
This afternoon was spent taking advantage of the weather – Kim sat on our terrace reading, while John turned on the tv and spent a couple of hours exchanging messages with Matt who is at the Le Mans 24 hour race which has had serious issues with the wet weather.
When we came to leave the hotel to catch up with Suzy and Dave, we discovered the hotel stairs had been barriered off, reception was in darkness and there were warning signs telling us alarms were on. We finally escaped out of an emergency exit only to find the car park gates locked. Luckily, Ken and Kim’s combined strength managed to release one gate and with a great sigh of relief, we were out and on our way.
Suzy and Dave left their life in Plymouth for a 19th century farmhouse, in need of renovation, in a beautifully quiet location. Suzy had insisted that she wanted to settle in a town with cafes, cinema and shops before falling in love with the complete opposite. We had a lovely, leisurely meal with lively conversation. Thank you both for your hospitality, it was a special way to bring our time down south to an end.
Early start tomorrow for 300+ miles to La Chartre sur le Loir
