We spend the next few days exploring our surrounds and taking stock. The nearby village of Saint Yrieix-le-Perche offers new scenery to explore including a very serious defensive tower. Built for harder times me thinks, […]
2024 Day 24 Pompadour
Oh the freedom! With hire car to hand there’s no keeping us in. Setting out in the morning feels reminiscent of escaping lockdown – everything is fresh and new again. First stop is the garage where […]
2024 Days 20 – 23 Not so fast….
The day starts with good intent. We take the opportunity of good timing to catch up with family. It’s just before lunch that we attempt to set off towards our next Les Plus Beaux Village. […]
2024 Day 19 Segur-le-Chateau

2024 Days 1 – 11 Drama? Plenty of it
And so here we are, back in the UK. It’s taken four years to revisit what was once an annual pilgrimage. A lot has happened since. Our 2019 trip to Poland was to be the […]
2019 Day 143 – Yum cha, then home
In John Denver’s immortal words, our bags are packed, we’re ready to go… but there’s a very important task to do before we leave…yum cha! For all of its woes, social media is a wonderful […]
