Jennifer
awoke early and went for a walk whilst Noel enjoyed a few more zzz’s and then
we enjoyed a bacon and egg and tomato breakfast, nothing like being in France,
and then headed off to the Limogne market which was really buzzing.
This is
a great little market to visit as mostly locals selling and also buying and we
were able to get some nice strawberries, cherries and an excellent melon which
will be devoured over the next few days.
We went
to the usual café and enjoyed a beer and then in the very hot sun
Walked
back to the car and headed to Carjac to see if there was a laundry as we do not
want to use the site equipment which is old and we don’t want to give the owner
any more cash.
A pleasant drive to Carjac and we found a newly equipped laundry which we will use
in the next few days and then back for a cold sausage an bread lunch.
The
afternoon comprised of swimming, going on the internet for email and then back
for tea. En route back to our van Mike and Paula ( the couple from Birmingham)
could not wait to tell about how the site owner had totally embarrassed himself with a set of French regular
customers who keep their caravan nearby and it was delivered last week for
placing on site. Unfortunately he had placed the wrong caravan on the site and
went to get theirs only to hitch it up, but not properly, and start moving only
to find the caravan dropped off without his knowledge and it was blocking the
road with the French couple extremely angry. Eventually he got the correct van
on site and then tried to move the wrong van away and had the same problem in
hitching and after moving off the van came loose and was rolling backwards uncontrolled
and nearly smashed in to French couple caravan. At the same time a Dutch
elderly couple arrived and he without checking properly backed his van into a
tree, all of this happening within ten minutes, Mike and Paula could not stop
laughing whilst the site owner had been totally embarrassed in front of 20/30
campers and went off in a huff, serve him right.
We passed
British site workers who watch Andy Murray at Wimbledon and so we joined
for a few minutes to see him finally win before heading home for a light tea.
Well
this is the last blog for a couple of weeks as over the next two weeks we shall
be just shopping, sightseeing, reading, cycling and eating and drinking and nothing really interesting for the reader.
We shall
start again as we leave here to head up to Le Havre on 20st July to
meet our American friends from Austin Texas with whom we shall be touring
France with for ten days.
So
that’s it for the moment.
Update- Just heard that site owner damaged the French couples caravan when moving it, b great..
