12th July- Where did this rain come from?

We awoke to the slight sound of rain but we were able to get packed up and off site before it became to strong. One hour later it was chucking it down as we headed down the motorway in the direction of Limoges.

Our journey was mostly by motorway and we stopped south of Brive at a parking area to have a light lunch in the caravan and a small ten minute kip before heading South in the direction of Cahors.

After leaving the motorway we went through the country lanes for about ten minutes and arrived at the site Chateau Le Comte in Carlucet and we arrived just about tea time as Stuart and Sheila were on the balcony with tea and ‘bikkies’ to which we joined. After a chat about this and that we headed in to the site and were surprised how busy it was and considerably more so than on our previous visits here. It would appear that Stuart’s decision to change to ‘Adults only’ has paid off and they now call this place a Country Club and later next year hope to have a nine hole golf club as well.

Tonight we had dinner and drinks in the bar, Jennifer tried the Bison (poor animal I thought) whilst i tried the Lamb steak with some pommes frites and a carafe of wine, pretty good we thought

Tomorrow we will put up the awning and do some shopping.. but let us hope it stays cooler for this even as it its quite warm at the moment.
