Yesterday, Wednesday 4th March, we left the soggy, but what promised to be rather a nice little campsite at Deyme, got onto the autoroute, but stopped at a favourite motorway service Aire in the Lot region. We think it was 2003 - we had a week's cycling holiday with Headwater and only one other couple were doing it with us - Jim and Roly from Edmonton, Canada. The village on the hill in the photo is Labastide-Murat. We had a 'day off' from cycling one day and together we walked to this little lake and had our picnic beside it. It's fenced off, of course, so you can't get at it from the motorway, but it's good to see it again. Although we've never met again, we are still in touch with Jim and Roly and enjoy hearing about their lives with their two daughters born since that holiday.
For our night's rest, we came to another small lake in the village of Meuzac somewhere north of Brive. We managed to get out for a walk around the lake while the rain held off for a little while.
Somewhere over the other side is our little van on the Camperstop area - all on our own.
Then today, through more and more of that horrid wet stuff, we came to Lac St. Cyr, north of Poitiers.
Again, there was a bit of a lull in the wind and rain, for a brisk walk ....
..... clad in rather more than beside the Spanish coast! (The short trousers were put away on Monday and probably won't be out again for some time to come ....)
