To think that Jean and John live only half an hour away from Mum's and we drive for nearly 5 hours to meet up with them in France! Still for all of us it's a welcome break from diy (John not Christian) and all those everyday things that make up life. The drive up was without any problem apart from finding a decent lunch. We ended up in a Chinese restaurant in Villefranche Laurgais which despite the sunshine had seen far better days. This year we booked a hotel in the Lot which is such a pretty area. Medieval villages, rolling countryside with lots of trees and houses with balconies, steep slopin
g rooves and lots of flowers. We did toy with the idea of buying something here but gave up the idea due to it's distance from major transport and colder winters. The hotel overlooks the river Céré which flows into the Dordogne and has a good restaurant where the same family have produced three generations of chefs. Weather is incredibly hot and tomorrow promises to be even hotter.
