Not
only has Theodora been well and truly christened on the outside, I
managed to knock a glass of wine over yesterday evening, thankfully
not red, and mostly over John. Problems never come one at a time, so
it wasn't surprising really when we developed a blocked waste pipe
from our washroom sink causing minor flooding this morning. Sorting
this out delayed our departure from Brantome. Driver, navigator and
Snoopy satnav are still not syncronised, resulting in a many point
turn at the entrance of a height restricted car park and wrong turns
in both Perigueux and Vers. Supermarket shopping in Cahors on late
Friday afternoon was probably not a good move either! However, the
latter part of the journey along the river Lot was very picturesque,
with steep cliff faces on one side of the road, and the river on the
other. Sometimes the road went further into the rock passing through
tunnels, or half tunnels, formed by big rock overhangs. We had
noticed that the cliffs and the earth are a very rich red; apparently
that this is due to the presence of iron in the rock. Weather still
cool and wet but forecast promises something better on Sunday and
Monday.
