Day 21 Valence Sur Baise....mmm

Woke to blue sky and sunshine with a potential of 24 degrees!! Tshirts and no puffer jackets today!
With no real plans for the day we headed to Valence sur Baise about 20mins west just below Condom. As we drove in, the 'route barre' sign was up as they were setting up for a fair over the weekend!! Nothing was open except one cafe. Nice coffee then a walk around. Some interesting buildings and structures.
Hunger got the better of us so we headed back to Condom for lunch. A different looking town with the sun out. We had a lovely 3 course lunch or Plat du Jour with a glass of Rosé....and not a puffer jacket in sight!! The coffee mousse dessert with 'snow' was amazing and so decadent. It was the placemats that caught our attention. On our side the pictures looked so real. We all went to pick up a piece of fruit!! Then Peter noticed the under side....pictures of penguins!!! Janet and I amused ourselves very happily doing the quizzes and spotting the differences between the penguins!!
More photos of the 4 musketeers in front of the town hall...of the 4 musketeers!!! Janet's words!
Then I spotted a watch shop, went in to get a new battery for my watch, no luck so bought a new one...as you do! Followed by the florist for a pot plant for Teen to celebrate her late mother's birthday tomorrow.
In the late afternoon we walked downhill to Teen's place to have a drink with her father who had just flown in from Sydney. Proseco, chips and lots of laughs in the garden with Teen's children coming in and out.Read more
