Hello All, Its Wednesday eve and we are in a lovely campsite on the river just outside a town called Laguepie on route to Albi. Had an amazing day driving through Dordogne and then the Lot Valley using back roads as much as we can. Stopped in an lovely town called Beaulieu which has  a medieval abbey - this is starting to  become a theme this trip - last night we stayed in a town called Chambourcy which has a medieval town which is still inhabited - it appears to hang over the cliffs and is built of sandstone which gleams at sunset.
We're on our way to Albi and then to Carcassone - somewhere that's been on my wish list for a long time, after that, well not sure yet but think it will be a few days r and r though whether its in France or Corsica is still to be decided.

The sleeping arrangements are working okay- Kye seems to get more quilt than either of us but as we are getting further south it doesn't seem to matter as much. What is notable is food prices - much higher than anticipated however as wine prices are so much more amenable I'm sure I will come out a winner - though  the 48 hr abstention will prove to be even more of a challenge!

Only problem is that Kye is really unsettled, I know he will adjust as time goes on ( not got much option has he?) but in the meantime he is a bit of a sad dog - Irene and I though are happy as.... choose your won phrase.

Bye for now and will try and do some photos next time, thanks to everyone who has emailed or sent texts- much appreciated.
Jane and team
