Dordogne

We have been traveling around 'our' department, especially as the weather has been cooler in the past few days.

Interestingly the northern Perigord towns and villages are a startling contrast to the Eymet and 'our' locality.

For one 'we' being both local farmers and residents have obviously seen more sun, the grass is considerably

less green here (and we buy less sun cream I suppose) however as the purpose of the trip was property seeking which is

always because the "grass is always greener", we have concluded it is much warmer and more pleasant here!

Sarlat was a particularly attractive area but like mid wales and just as green.

When asking at a brasserie are there lots of English here we were told no, Dutch residents actually.

So there we are. It may have rained for considerably more than 40 days and 40 nights this year but we have

more 'southern' weather here and as one of the reasons we left the UK was appalling weather and lack of summer

we have concluded that we got it right the first time!

Footnote. We are in for cloudy weather looking at the forecast so maybe the Biarritz blogger is looming!
