The 14th was a little slow as the weather was warming up and it become difficult to do things as the heat intensifies.
So the day was spent in the usual boring old way of reading, emailing and swimming and eating and drinking. In the evening we visited the couple with the big 5th wheeler and spent a nice and enjoyable couple of hours chatting about many things and a great evening it was too. They are doing a three month tour of France to celebrate last year's retirement.
On the 15th we decided to go to Sarlat as it had been recommended to us as a nice little town. The journey there was fine and we took the main? Road via Gourdon and when we got to Sarlat it looked like Regent Street on the Saturday before Christmas as, you guessed it, market day was in progress and people come from miles around for this event. Not us we thought and drove out the other side without stopping except for the traffic jams. There were tourist coaches and motor homes and cars parked absolutely everywhere and without any type of obvious organisation and so driving was difficult.
We took the long way back through the country after purchasing some sandwiches for lunch and arrived in Gourdon where Noel was going to have a haircut as he had recently lost his sight as it was growing down over his nose and when swimming it was a nightmare. Well 15 Euros and 25 minutes later the sun reappeared in to Noels life and so on to Carrefour for the weekly shopping and we decided to have fish tonight.
When we got back we had a quick swim of about 45 minutes which cooled us down and then back for dinner and an evening of reading.
