Thursday 31st July- A visit to Dave & Lorraine


We spent a little while in the morning sorting out the various bits and bobs that we need to pack prior to leaving the site in preparation for tomorrow.

Late morning we headed to Villefranche to buy some wine, cakes and flowers to take to Dave & Lorraine.

There house, an ex barn, has been turned quite beautifully in to to a delightful house in the country with a large garden and swimming pool. They had some good friends staying with them and so we spent the afternoon and evening swimming, eating and drinking. Not much to beat that really. The sun was really hot today, about 35 degrees and it was still a little humid from the last few days of rain. Their house has approx four bedrooms and they are also repairing another barn on the site up to a small two room apartment. I think David could stay here permanently if he could.

Anyway after a delightful day we headed home and arrived about 1045 but our valley was much cooler than where we had been which made it easier for sleeping.

Tomorrow we pack up and leave here for Weybridge. Sites are now getting very busy and so our first day will not be travelling to far but our second day will be much longer and we hope to get an early start.
