Dordogneshire

We are today living the dream in Dordogneshire, as my son in law's father calls it. It's our wedding anniversary and before we left the UK Phil's sister Helen very kindly gave us a gift of some money to spend on celebrating today. So we are in a fantastic Chateau in a beautiful room with....... A BATH!!! We haven't had a bath in five weeks. We've showered every day in case you were wondering but a bath is such a luxury. And it's a massive bath. Oh yes, and the bed is massive too. We're shortly off for a meal at a local restaurant which has been getting rave reviews so we are really living the high life at the moment.
We stayed just over the French border a couple of nights ago in Basque country just south of Bayonne and last night on a campsite just north of Bordeaux. The weather is a bit miserable at the moment, grey and damp, so we're not seeing this part of France at it's best. It's been cold at night in the Motorhome but we've been resisting leaving the heating on all night. If it gets any colder I think that policy may change.
Tomorrow we head off toward Limoges. We're trying not to use toll roads on the return journey and to avoid campsites so maybe not too many opportunities to find wifi over the next few days.

    1. Hi Liz, it's good to see you're following us. We thought everyone at Woodheads had forgotten us! As you've probably read we've had a great time so far. We're back in UK on the 19th, are any pre-Christmas drinks planned? Let me know and I can say hi to you all.

  2. Congratulations P&P - you're clocking up the years like a motorhome clocks up miles. Here's to clocking you both soon.

    Power to you.
