The Dordogne avec la famille and les amis

Tuesday 30 th August 2022

From August 9th to August 25th we played host to family members, firstly our youngest daughter Steph and her husband Will joined us, after a few days they travelled to Paris for two nights to celebrate their first wedding anniversary.

When they returned from Paris our eldest daughter Emma, her husband Andy and our twin grandsons Ben and James joined us. This signalled it was time for us to have a holiday and do touristy things.

We visited the local park in Montpon.

A visit to the local swimming lake, Lac de Gurcon was enjoyed by most of the family, Layla wasn’t allowed on the beach so I returned home and enjoyed a quiet break.

Of course if you’re a tourist you have to visit St Emelion.We go most years and never tire of it.

Near the Kings tower.
We have a favourite restaurant that we like to visit for lunch.
James couldn’t resist the chocolate waffle.

Of course we did eat at home most evenings.

We visited a different style car boot, more aimed at car fanatics with spares for sale as well as a range of old and modern cars.There were some normal stalls and we bought a wooden train set and track for the boys.

It’s always helpful when family members muck in with the chores.

Big boys toys.

Our friends Peter and Alison arrived at their bungalow on August 20 th and they kindly invited our family to enjoy their swimming pool.

James really enjoyed the experience but Ben wasn’t so sure.

Sadly our swimming pool isn’t quite up to the same standard.

Before the family members departed we managed a visit to Aubeterre and Ste Foy La Grande, a few days later we returned there with Alison and Peter for a good vide grenier.

We made our 3rd visit to the marche nocturne at Villefranche de Lonchat.

A quiet house means back to chores and tasks.☹️
