Well, for a few weeks anyway, as we return for Bob’s party on the 27th July. A great break, some fabulous food, some interesting friends to go and visit, and some that visited Al and Cheryl here. We were able to lie back and watch some of Wimbledon and the final few matches of the European cup. Some work in the garden too made us feel like we were home. Very hot, it rose to 37 one day!
Dinner with Jeremy and Day, visitors from UK

Setting off
We went into Pau on Thursday to pick up our car and have lunch. Will not go into all the details, but we had a disaster trying to get the promised car (a VW Golf), we ended up with a different deal at Avis. A smallish Fiat Punto diesel. Pretty basic, quite comfortable, and I’m sure it will do the job. Thankfully, we have Tim’s Garmin (Helpful Helene) to help us navigate the French roads, we are hoping to avoid the motorways and travel the more scenic roads that lead through the villages, they are so lovely.
Such beautiful houses! I'm glad you enjoyed your holiday within a holiday :) Le Tour starts tonight, we'll be looking for you!
