T Stands for....Tourtoirac and more

 Hi everyone, it's been a topsy turvy week, so hoping to get back to a routine this week, meds still causing a few problems but I'm expecting a phone call from the Diabetic nurse later in the week so hopefully it will get sorted!

We've been getting daily updates from my youngest son and his partner who are on the cruise they won. They have been sailing around some islands in the Carribean and it all looks amazing!

I'm continuing with our France adventure. You may remember, we were on our way to visit my eldest and his wife who were down in the Perigord region working on their Manoir.

We arranged to meet them in Tourtoirac, the nearest village, for a meal(so we could follow them home). We arrived first so there was time for a little explore.

We didn't know, but we were going to sit by this river for our meal - at the L.R.D. on the left of the photo.

We never got time to visit this Brocante - maybe another time!

It was great to meet up with them both and the food was delicious - we were so busy chatting that I forgot to take photos.

We watched a Kingfisher darting up and down, saw a Heron land on the opposite bank, watched a small murmuration of starlings and, as it got dark, enjoyed watching a couple of Coypus slip in and out of the water. 

The next morning we had plans - Perigeux, where there was market on.

The first thing we did was call in to the Cathedral de St Front de Perigueux 

Some original wall panels

I loved the little alleyways in Perigeux

As you see, connections with Alionor d"Aquitaine.

These are my only drink related photos for T Stands for Tuesday - Bleubeard and Elizabeth's weekly link up at The Altered Book Lover

This is Cafe de la Truffe restaurant where we had our lunch. At that time the tables were in front of the restaurant and there were market stalls in the square. During our meal the stalls were dismantled and taken away(interesting to watch) and when we came back an hour later the tables had been moved out into the square

This shell sign signifies that it as part of the pilgrim route to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. 

During our visit we spotted this too, as you can see I stood there quite a while.

Once again I fear I have rambled a bit.

I am hoping that Google will have stopped playing games with commenting again - I have sometimes written a long comment only to find that it won't publish, all I can say I'll be round even if I can't comment.

Thanks for looking, Chris
