The ice block lights adorning one of our purchases from Emmaus (large warehouse of recycled stuff) yesterday along with the lighted cactus!

Today started with yours truly feeling a little ordinary, not being able to shake the summer cold, and an inbox full of emails! So I attacked the work with a vengence as the day promised to be a fine sunny 30 degrees Celsius! Nothing a shower and a Panadol couldn’t dull as Kev and I had planned a lunch out at Roland’s (work) hotel – The Brit!

Sitting on the terrace, with a view over the pool and shade above, we enjoyed our lunch, while poor Roland slaved away serving a quite busy crowd for a Thursday, I enjoyed a wild mushroom omlette and a salad, feeling very full for a midday meal, no dinner needed.

Looking back up at the castle landmark of Fumel…..

And down towards the Lot River, a very pleasant relaxing last day….getting read to hit the travel traps tomorrow – first train at 8am from the nearby town. The afternoon spent packing and repacking as I am taking an extra suitcase (as already paid for) with Kevin and Rols belongings that need transporting back to Malta! The day will be interesting rolling two bags and a small backpack on and off trains and buses until I can rid myself of one on the flight checkin from Bordeaux!
A quiet evening, a cool beer and an early night!
