It was our original intention to visit the market in Limogne but when we awoke the weather was grey and so an hour's trip to a market where there would be no real colour, no sun etc, meant that we had to spend an extra hour in bed deciding what to do.
However we tough that a walk would do us a lot of good and so decided to visit another village we have been through many times called La Bastide Murat which is the home of the Duke or Murat, of the well known Murat Family, well but well know down here in these parts maybe. So off we went and low an behold there was a market in this town as well and so we wandered around and bought some green beans and strawberries which we planned to use up later in the evening. The place was jumping and so we walked around to study all the wines and vegetables and yogurt's on offer whilst the sun slowly rose and cleared the clouds.
We went for a coffee in the local Hotel and watched the crowds go by and the queue for the bread was amazing and there must have been about twenty people waiting in line and so when we finally decided that looks like a good idea all the bread had been sold. Oh well we said we shall go to the Carrefour Contact shop on the way back to the site and purchase some milk and break and only to find that the closing hours meant that we missed it by 30 minutes, Oh well that's life.
So back to the site we went and after a quick Brie and Camembert an biscuit lunch we headed off to watch the German Formula One Grand prix on the bar TV. A good race only screwed by the team orders from Ferrari for Massa who had led all the way to apparently be told to slow down and allow Alonso pass by. This was terrible and no doubt there should be a steward's enquiry and stop this rubbish. Let hope that Ferrari get to lose both positions One and Two for failing to follow the rules of 'No Team Orders'
By the time the race was finished we made a quick phone to our daughter and then headed for the empty swimming pool where we did sufficient laps to exhaust us after longish walk around town this morning. A quick shower followed by a cup of tea and the we put on some pork chops in the oven and later joined by a few chips and eventually some green beans. Prior to this Noel had noticed a distinct lack of white wine and so a quick trip to reception resolved this dire state of the nation.
The food was great and in the meantime a number of new caravans turned up and parked themselves fairly close to us and so being the nice people we are we offered the new arrivals a cup of tea whilst they set up their van. Finally a couple of hours of reading and then off to bed to ready ourselves for a new day tomorrow. Gosh it's a really tough life here..
