St Adrien
I'm really sorry to tell you chaps in Brownland that summer continues beautifully here, fantastic clear skies and warm temperatures.
We went to Rocamadour this morning partly on a search for clothes for the wedding and partly to treat ourselves to lunch out to celebrate our wedding anniversary yesterday. Having noticed a distinct quietening of the roads and shops since 1st September we were very surprised to find the village absolutely packed with tourists. Where were they all staying? Certainly nowhere near us, all the campsites are empty and the hotels are quiet too.
We found a table at a restaurant on a terrace overlooking the valley and browsed the menu. No sooner had we made our choices than the restaurant suddenly filled up. French, British and Dutch diners all clamouring for their cassoulet or confit de canard.
It was a lovely lunch, very relaxed and, considering the number of people visiting the village, quiet.
The best news is that I now have an outfit for the wedding.
I think.
Maybe I still need some shoes.
But I do have a hat!

Beautiful here too, but we're still thronged (in the nicest possible way) with tourists. Very few French, mostly Brits.
Must be tough living in a cold climate!
Brownland!!, do it detect a slight hint of sarcasm there. Our glourious leader is a dynamic, go getter, we are really, really, really safe in his hands. We are also not the slightest bit jealous of your fine weather, we like the rain we do.
