Bloomin hell it’s raining and grey and miserable so let’s get outa here.
Our Northern Ireland friends Jerry and Mura recently visited this area and recommended that we visit a couple of towns they went to and so we headed off on a big day trip to see what they saw. We left via Rocamadour and then on to Autoir, where we watched the local fire brigade abseiling down the cliffs, whoa not for us as all the ropes were connected to one tree which did not look to well.
From there we went to and then on via Gagnac St Cere to Loubressac where Jerry and Mura had recommended and they were lovely little towns. It had started rain again as we arrived in a town called Beaulieu-Sur-Dordogne which is also great except that it was very damp and pretty much closed for lunch. There were two places to eat close by, one expensive and the other not and this is what we chose as it appeared to be the workers choice. There was a very limited menu but cheap but still good and it was still raining as we left town and no use to take photos, perhaps another time.
We then went to Goudon to the hairdressers so that Jennifer could have her locks shorn as it it had been growing very well over the past six weeks and so with deft hand language and lots of hope she ended up with it rather short, not quite a Yul Bryner , but not far off either and it cost 38 Euros which seems quite expensive to me who pays only £ 10.00 in Baker Street.
We must have covered about 100 miles on slightly bumpy and very twisting roads and so we were both a little tired
The rain had now stopped and it was looking a little brighter than before so let’s hope the improved weather predicted by Meteo ( the French Weather Organisation ) arrives soon.
A quiet time this evening apart from a quick drink in the bar whilst checking email and finishing up some leftovers as we did not need much after a lunch out.
