Its quite warm t the moment and nice to be outside and so we had breakfast on the balcony this morning whilst knowing that the good weather could change very quickly here in the Lot.
Following breakfast we noticed that the sink in the bathroom hose connections had come apart and so when you run water in to the sink it ends up on the floor, so Noel reported it and they came to fix it only I had an attempt which they said was successful, but of course it did not last. We are still in the final stages of planning our route home now that we are going via Brittany and were considering where to stay en-route for two night prior to arriving in Vannes. We considered staying in Rochefort near La Rochelle again but then we wanted somewhere new or somewhere where we had limited knowledge. We then looks at Cognac and also the small village of Coulon known for its aspirations to be a mini Venice and then we came across a Best Western Hotel south of Poitiers in the Charente region of France and eventually we decided we would stay there for two nights.
Following the lots of miles on motorways the front of the car was covered in dead insects and so we took some time to clean it all off rather than wait till we get home and did not a bad job as it looks a lot better. We then went to report the failing sink to reception and then asked about EV charging and the receptionist showed us where and its FREE….. so Noel brought the car over and plugged in and approx. two hours later was fully charged which will gis us enough energy to visit Cahors which is a 45 mile round trip.
As it was the first night on this bed the previous evening neither of us slept well and so in the afternoon whilst the car was charging we both had a time out resting before an early evening dinner. Tonight we are having pork chops and salad followed by some nice strawberries and also checked out a bottle of Chardonnay which was quite nice. In the evening we watched some stuff on You Tube and then some Clarkson Farm latest series where he is trying to buy a pub and surprised how much all the costs were.
Overnight we heard the thunder and saw lightning which is normal weather in this area but of course it is not cold and at 9 pm it was till 26 C and so tonight we will turn on the air con to have the room at a more comfortable temperature for sleeping.
