June 25th Sunday A miserable weather day

The weather following the storm was a day of grey skies and cool breezes and about 16 degrees centigrade so we took it easy with reading.
The camp site we are staying at is at a place called larnagol, about 25 miles east of Cahors. The site only has 49 spaces and as only about 10 places have been taken as its early season there is plenty of room to spread. The site is owned by two Brits from Winchester, Mike had to give up work due to health reasons, he worked for the Hi tech business and travelled extensively. Mike has been mad keen on cars and used to own about ten vintage cars with his favourite being Jaguars. All over the bar are pictures of him at either Goodwood or other race tracks.
Mike spends most of his day riding around on his varios tractors and keeping out of the way of his wife who really appears to controls things here. They are a very nice couple to be with and that is why we decided to spend some extra time here. We watched the abysmal England display, god knows how we can hope to beat the Brazilians or Germans. It has just not clicked as a team, we live in hope.
