France day 7 – Carreau

Blasdale Home Posted on by

After breakfast we went for a walk along the local roads, through woods and by lakes. A deer was spotted in the woods, and a few buzzards.  We walked up through Carreau and spotted some English cars parked outside houses. The rain managed to keep off. Had lunch back at the campsite, and after 14.00 J&B arrived in their car.  Showed them Morrison and then we went for a drive around.  We stopped off at the Eglise Saint Eutrope in Les Salles-Lavauguyon.  This church has some wall paintings which are worth viewing. Then on up to Chabanais to see the English shop which sells Marmite, dropped in at Cassinomagus, an Archaeological Park, but never went in, then back to J&B for supper.

Walked over to Jen and Bev’s after breakfast.  Not a car in sight on the 15-minute walk to their home.  We ate lunch and then drove over to Brantome for a walk along the river and the cliff walls.  Back to Jen and Bev’s for supper and then a walk back to Morrison in the dark.

France day 5 – Carreau

Today we packed the van and headed over to Jen and Bev’s.  We were going to be staying at a campsite within a mile of their home.  We arrived as the only campers on the site and were greeted by the Dutch owner of the campsite La Nozilliere.  They had taken over the site this year.  The pitches were not delimited, with no fences or hedges.  Tried to connect to their electricity, but unfortunately required a European adapter.  Luckily, they had one in stock. (Had we pitched elsewhere we would have found the standard electricity supply.)  This campsite had been closed the previous year.  The Dutch owners had bought the place during the winter and had done some work in the Sanitaire.  You could see they were tall, Rosemary had difficulty with the washing-up facilities & light switches and needed something to stand on.
