Lane by the Fire

We have now moved from the Lot and into the Dordogne. We did think that the weather had finally turned towards summer but Saturday was firstly dull and overcast before it started raining. This location change was always going to be a little bit complicated as we knew we would need to make two trips to cover both lots of luggage. This will be the only time we need to changeover this way. Ashley and Randall left Puymule just before 9am and we had completed both trips by 2.30pm which was not too bad considering the weather, the small roads we were using, the cleaning time for Puymule and getting through our goodbyes and greetings. We completed the changeover just in time to get to Brive so that Yvonne and Rachael could do a quick food shop and for Randall and Ashley to fill in the time by going to the last round of the top division rugby game. Brive-Bayonne. Brive lost a scrappy and disappointing game but the atmosphere was great and quite different to that back in Oz.

The new gite is a lower standard than we would normally take at two ears. It is a very simple cottage consisting of a family area/kitchen, toilet, bathroom and double bedroom downstairs with the two other bedrooms upstairs (a double bed in one and two singles in the other). We decided to sleep the Lane’s upstairs whilst we would take the downstairs bedroom.
