Hello Again part 2

So on Friday morning the sun shone- hurrah but it was time to move on - I was heading further south to meet up with a friend of dear Sally - her name is Diana and she lives in a small town called Esperaza which is a little south of Carcassone. Had a lovely overnight stop in a peaceful aire and sat out in the evening sun. Next day dawned bright and sunny so high hopes that I was leaving the rain behind. Arrived to find that Esperaza was in full party mode - the whole town ( or seemed to be) were out in the village square eating and drinking and generally having a great time- (much like a Cuckfield street party,) then there was to be dancing to a live band. Diana and I didnt make contact that evening- but next day we met for coffee and the seeds of a good friendship were Sunday talking and getting to know one another.

The weather has been lovely during the days, warm and sunny but come the nights down comes the rain - but at least time it is warm. We've spent  a lovely couple of days together, meeting her friends, visiting the special places that Diana knows and treat of treast- having my washing done in a washing machine! So, tonight our farewell supper at the local creperie as I am back on the road tomorrow- but I dont think it will be farewell, more of an adieu and a big thank you once again to Diana for her kindnesses.

Will be  heading for the coast soon and the sunshine its going to change here and its on the way to you now.

So will be back when the time is right - bye for now.
