R & R

We've had my old school friend Ray and his wife Fay staying with us for a couple of days, and, as we've said before, visitors mean we have a break from the house! We had hoped to have the shower ready for them, but we failed. Ray and Fay went off yesterday, so I've now got a week to get it ready for our friend Paul next weekend.

We took our guests off to Terrasson, an ancient town crossing the River Vezere which flows into the Dordogne. In the 90's the Mayor, realising the need for Tourism, pushed to make the old town an attractive visitor's site.

The view of the old slate roofs (rooves!) at the foot of the church makes an attractive scene. However, the reason for our visit was to go to the Garden of the Imagination. Monsieur the Mayor also commissioned a Landscape 'Artist' to transform an abandoned hillside into a garden full of arty gardening ideas. The result does work well, even though there's not many flowers.

Now, holiday is over and back to it! No peace for the wicked.
