It’s a big day today – Himself’s birthday! And he’s jagged a perfect 28 degree day for it too. It’s a tough gig, but someone has to do it. The morning passes in a […]

2024 Day 37 La Roque-Gageac
It’s a gloriously sunny day as we drive down the cliffs into the the Dordogne Valley. Spring has finally turned a corner – the sky is an endless blue. It’s our third time in this […]
2024 Day 36 Domme
There’s a reason that a good number of English expats flocked to buy property in the Dordogne throughout the 80s and 90s – it’s utterly glorious. The Dordogne river cuts a wild swathe through limestone […]
2024 Day 35 Martel
Our early exit from Collonges-la-Rouges sees us head deeper into southwest France, through the Dordogne. We’re still meandering somewhat rudderless without a plan, although today’s focus is to stock up and catch up on house […]

It’s all coming back to us now, village hopping through France is a gentle way to travel. Not to mention the plethora of boulangeries and cheese that happily pave the way. Even the most basic […]
2024 Day 16 – Creatures and Mortemart
Much excitement as we prepare to visit our first South Western Les Plus Beaux (most beautiful) French village of Mortemart, so named for the ‘dead sea’, aka marshes on which it once it stood. It’s […]
2019 Day 103 – Le Bec-Hellouin and Honfleur
Having toured the Abbey yesterday, the morning brings an opportunity to explore the rest of Le Bec-Hellouin. It’s a hasty tour, completed at speed under an ominous sky. The lighting meanwhile, is rather fabulous.I’m hard […]
