Catherine says:
Tomasina's maps are out of date. This meant driving around in circles in Pézenas trying to get onto the motorway that would take us out of the city and on our way to Beaumont-du-Périgord in the Dordogne where we will be spending the next week. Round and round the round-a-bout we went before I just decided to take pot luck and ended up driving back towards Puisserguier before I managed to get Tomasina to recalibrate and get us on to an alternative toll route. It worked eventually and then we were on our way.
I won't bore you with the details as to how we got to La Moulin de la Ville in Beaumont-du-Périgord, but of course once we neared our final destination Tomasina's maps were clearly out of date and we ended up running the gauntlet of tiny narrow streets, all one way. I'm starting to tire of her voice: when possible, turn around. The Little Mother simply says: we heard you the first time Tomasina and we're ignoring you. Miraculously we made it here in one piece.
Below is a photograph of The Mater in the garden at La Moulin de la Ville. In case you haven't noticed in all the photographs of her I have posted on this blog she wears that long string of pearls every day, together with all her rings - even the big sapphire one. This goes against all the advice we were given before leaving Australia. But no O'Neil is going to be slumming it in France!
