The weather started out a little grey again and gradually improved throughout the day and it was quite warm. Our friends David and Lorraine have a house on the South side of the Lot Valley and so we arranged to meet them for a meal in the evening at the historic old town of of St Cirq La Popie. We have visited this town many times over the last ten years and it is a beautiful place to visit with the houses clinging to the rock of the mountain and the river running in the valley below.
I have taken many photos of this place over the last few years and so decided that whilst on holiday this year we would only take plhotos of new places that we visit rather than repeat photos that already appear in our photo album. Anyway, enough of this small talk.
Mid afternoon we headed of down the valley passing Vers and Bouziers and finally reaching St Cirq in good time to find a car park in a better place than last time we visited. See lasts years Blog for details.
We found the open air bar where we agreed to meet and David and Lorraine and Chloe their daughter turned up a short while later and we had a great evening catching up each other lives. David has a new Merc whilst gaining air miles at an alarming rate, better him than me, I have done that and it gets boring.
We had dinner on the terrace at a restaurant we visited last time called Gourmet Quercynois and the food yet again was really very good indeed and Noel had the Cassoulet and Jenifer had the pork with honey and herbs. It was a sober night as we both had to drive a distance to get home which we did around midnight. An evening to be remembered but at 8pm we drank a toast to other close friends currently on holiday in Spain. Roger, sorry we were actually 20 minutes late with the toast but you can blame David's Singapore Rolex watch for the occurrence.
