Temporary move!



All our gites and the main house are full so we've had to move out of Les Granges for a short while, fortunately for us, some very nice friends have allowed us to 'house sit' their home in a lovely small village up the road in Plazac. Their house is very close to the Romanesque church shown above, I managed to get a bit of time off to have a look around and inside the church I found this fantastic old memorial to the men (and boys) of the village who lost their lives in that terrible war. Some beautiful hand painted lettering with a chandelier underneath that looks as though it is as it was when the memorial was first unveiled.

Also on the stone archway into the church, this painting has survived the centuries, if you click on the picture it will open an enlarged view of it, it's certainly not as old as the cave paintings in this area but is just as impressive.

In the next couple of days we are moving out of Plazac and are taking up residence in a tent on the nearby camp site 'Le Paradis', a place we know very well having been customers when our daughters were much younger, so, as they say, the change will be as good as a rest......possibly!
