Farewell St Aignan
... the pattiserie and bid madam there goodbye - I had been practising a phrase over and over "vous êtes très aimable" (you are very kind) to say as I bought my last pain au raisin, but as I headed down the street I saw her loading a large tray of bread in the back of her van and off she drove, so I had to be content with a cheery wave. A quick shower, coffee and bags packed and we were leaving St Aignan, our home for a week. I wonder if I will ever ...
Second week in France

Feeling really relaxed and enjoying their company immensely.
The weather is still iffy and black clouds keep rolling through.
