Heading back for another fix

Since 2009, we did venture back into France in 2010 for just a couple of weeks whilst Randall walked in the Dordogne area with a few friends.   And for some reason we can keep on creating reasons for yet another holiday there.  But for one of us at least, it is really a bit more than a good place for a holiday break.

Since 2010, we have pursued our post paid work lives, further developed our hobbies and kept in regular contact with our now remotely living families.  But the 'quest' to develop our lives further remains.  And France, and French country living, on at least a semi-permanent basis, remains an attractive idea.

So for 2013, we are renting a couple of gites for the month of August;  one in the small village St Andre de Cubzac in the wine growing area not far from Bordeaux and the other in Pignan a town not far from Montpellier and the Mediterranean.  

Not really a holiday and not really 'normal' living.

Finally, maybe this all started for Randall back in 1967 when 'sitting' in the French Quarter of New Orleans getting a portrait drawn?
