Drinking wine in the afternoon ...

Carmel and John on the terrace

What promised to be a rainy day has turned to sunshine and dinner will again be on the flowered terrace with grape vines sheltering us from the sun at 8.30 pm.  Maybe a swim before dinner if the wine doesn't take effect too soon. 

Our room in Le Presbytere

We have definitely landed in paradise at Le Presbytere in Nadaillac de Rouge in the Dordogne area of France.  With four of our friends we are having a wonderful relaxing time.  Met Gerry and Carmel and Phil and Bea in Souillac yesterday and drove our to our beautiful accommodation by about 3 pm.  Cracked out the wine and the pate and the terrine and the olive sausage and the crunchy bread and the camembert and after a swim in the heated pool partied on till midnight.  It was a great day with great friends.  Everyone loves it here and today after a late start we went to a local market at St Cyprien and then over to Beynac to the castle and village.  We now have a glass of wine and are watching the French Open - Stosur about to play. 

Had a very relaxing last day in Languedoc visiting a few villages, basically doing a coffee crawl, and then packing and cleaning and going to Carcassonne at night to see this beautiful town by night.  What a sight.  We both love Carcassonne and the fact that we lived half an hour away let us appreciate it to the full.  Left early to drive up here going via Cahors with its amazing fortified bridge. 



The AA Cult





Carmel and Gerry bought us all a fleece with Aussie Amis France 2012 on so we had this picture taken of all of us looking like cult followers.  Loving it here with very easy company and good wine and food.
