Monday 31st October
Although Havorn has been at Fontet all week we have been on holiday!! A friend of ours has a house in France - she was coming over for half term so she came to join us!! We took her for a delightful trip up the canal where we introduced her to locks, tying up to trees and cob-cooking!! The weather was perfect - lovely warm autumn sunshine, amazing colours in the Plane trees, which line the canal, and Kingfishers!!!
We then went back to her house which was just lovely!! We did some washing, visited beautiful medieval towns, did more washing, visited her family, did more washing, walked round lakes, did more washing and ate and drank far too much!!! We celebrated Paul’s birthday with lunch in Bramtome - here the river goes in, through and round the town which is squashed at the base of the cliff. There are little shops in the caves where we watched glass blowing and bought more wine. We watched coypu diving in the river and re-emerge chomping on reeds. We also did some excellent people watching as there was a wedding in the church there. And…yes, the Kingfishers were there too!
We are having such a good time together on the boat, but it was so good to see somebody we both knew and could just chatter with. We had lots of fun and thoroughly enjoyed our short break…and the washing smells lovely!!
