Hanging about.

Le Pradal, 24250 

Domme, France

I mean it is a very nice area to be hanging about in and over the last few days we have visited and enjoyed some quintessential picture postcard Dordogne villages. A popular area with the Brits too with English speaking people popping up everywhere. I've enjoyed lots of conversations and; "Oh! You must go to ...... etc, etc."

The weather is iffy though and I have made the decision to go south again toward Perpignon where the forecast for the next few weeks shows more promise. So I'm sort of itching to get on.

Hanging about is what I have got to do though for a few days yet. My credit card expires in May and they would not allow me to extend the 'end by date' before I left the UK. The new card duly landed on the doorstep at Chris and Michelles in East Kilbride (Son in Law) some days ago. It has now been sent on by Chris to the campsite I was recently at. Chris was informed it should take about 3 days. We are now on day 5 and it has not arrived. I am not particularly worried as I translated 3 days as meaning about 7. So another couple of days to go yet before I touch those; 'Uh ho! What's happenin here,' feelings.

We are not too far from the campsite tonight. I'm wild parked on the edge of Domme. I'm on a tiny flat bit of land where locals have been dumping rubble (not black plastic bag rubbish, you just do not see that here in rural France.) And there is a big notice plonked there by the Mayor threatening hell and dammnation to anyone caught dumping. Not sure whether one large white Rapido motorhome counts as rubbish or not. No one seems in the least bit concerned though.

The rain is lashing down and I just hope it goes off tomorrow morning and allows us to walk into and explore the Bastide town of Domme which is a 10 minute walk away.

..........

We did. Did manage our walk all round Domme. Well worth it too. We also got back to Sadie just before the rains really set in. No matter. For I am now on the campsite warm and snugly with new credit card all done and dusted.

Gonna be moving on again tomorrow. Not immediately South. I have one more visit to make before I head for sunnier climes.
