Sadly today is our last day in Puisserguier as tomorrow we set off for a week's stay at Moulin de la Ville in Beaumont-du-Périgord.
Leaving here early in the morning, we will detour via Pézenas which has a great Saturday market.
Our final day in this region was spent at a delightful restaurant which was recommended by many, including Bill Caldwell. It is called Auberge de la Croisade and is located just outside of Cruzy on the canal du midi.
We were seated outdoors on a tree covered pergola; the air was warm and suited to a long 5 course luncheon. It was fantastic!
On the way back to Puisserguier, we saw lots of interesting buildings and have taken many photographs. When I can manage to distract Catherine from her crocheting (she found a wool shop yesterday!) perhaps I can arrange for her to upload them.
The weather has been amazing since we have been here. Temperature is between 23 and 27. This weekend is predicted to reach 30. We are even sporting a bit of a tan!
I have picked up a bit of a cold but got the all clear from the doctor yesterday. It was interesting to explain my medical conditions to a basically non-English speaking French doctor, but at least Catherine knew how to say remplacement de la valve aortique and lymphœdème.
To be honest, in her usual overly organised-for-every-potential-disaster fashion, Catherine presented to the doctor a full page of a French translation (with the assistance of Google translate and the Rosetta Stone in her head) of my medical history! I might add the doctor was found for us by our insurance company who gave us the wrong street address and wrong name of the doctor and incorrectly spelt my name on the documentation they sent through to the medical clinic prior to my attendance. In addition, although the insurance company stated the doctor spoke English (this was a specific request of ours due to my complicated medical history), I speak more Swahili than she speaks anglais! Nevertheless, she gave me a thorough check up and sent me home with an almost clean bill of health - I just have a nasty head cold.
We are now well past the half way mark of our trip. I can't believe how quickly it has gone. We have loved every minute of it!
