Lazy morning at Jill and Marks checking on emails, updating blog from yesterday and listening to all the politics on Sky TV about the new Labour Party leader Ed Milliband. Left Jill and Marks at about mid day and set tomtom for Oradour-sur Glane near Limoge where France sufferred it's worst attrocity during the second world war under German occupation.
On the way travelled up the N21; between Perigueax and Limoge and tried to remember how to get to the property owned by our friends Cheryl and Gordon. I knew the turning was about half way between the two towns and then it was to the west of the main road. I was hoping my memory would be jogged and I would be able to muddle my way somehow to their houses. It wasn't and so I carried on to Chalus and then started just touring the area west of the road hoping something would look familiar!! No luck so after about 45 mins of touring around reset off again for Oradour-sur-Glane. By the time I got to near Limoge it was getting cold and dark, so found an hotel not far from Oradour-sur-Glane at a place called St Junien.
Meal of salad with cold meats (and lardons) followed by a nice piece of steak and then creme brulee, all washed down with two carafes of house red wine, no trouble sleeping tonight!!
