Thursday 18th:
Went driving through more small villages and the colourful countryside. Lots of bright yellow fields – sunflowers are almost in full bloom and they are packed closely together.
Found a double lock near by, so had to have a look.
Another great concert tonight, a string orchestra with about 15 members including a cello and double bass. Great sounds reverberating around the church. Pizza and wine again at the restaurant we went to last week and listened to a smooth jazz band with a guest pianist from New York.
Friday 9th:
Friends of J&J from Australia called in this morning, they have a house in Nerac, about half an hour away. Lunch at a restaurant in the Montreal village square then drove to Agen, a big town, looking for house stuff and experiencing more busy traffic.
Saturday 20th:
Spent most of the day at J&Js house in Sos, cleaning and generally giving the house a bit of a spruce up, tidying it up ready for potential buyers. Went to dinner with 4 others in the large village of Nerac. Beautiful food imaginatively presented.
Sunday 21st:
Back to Nerac, to the trash & treasure market, looking for a chair and something to keep pigeons away. Bought some old cds in the hope that the birds don’t like them on the window sill. Lunch under the awning, very warm. Outside temp about 36 degrees. Lazy afternoon reading & watching Tour de France highlights & waiting for the final ride into Paris late this afternoon from Versailles.
We leave here tomorrow morning (Monday), heading slowly back to Paris, due there on Friday. It’s been great staying here with J&J and sightseeing from this base.
Thanks again to Montreal du Gers Office du Tourisme WiFi.
