• Day 22 Lectoure

    June 14, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    A quiet day in Lectoure planned.
    Breakfast at home before heading up the road to meet Teen and Barry at the Sports bar for a coffee and walk through the markets which are on every Friday. The whole main road had stalls and all the shops were open too. Similar to home but a lot more produce. The fruit and vegetables looked beautiful and fresh. Did note the apricots were from Spain. Tomatoes and strawberries are local and picked by north Africans here for work. Amazing zucchini flowers and beans.
    A lovely lunch at the Bellevue restaurant which had a magnificent view over the valley and in the distance we could just see the Pyrenees mountain range. We enjoyed our Aperol spritzes and lunch under the umbrellas in the garden. A peace of heaven and so quiet.
    Chris got picked up by Barry and Teen to go to the hardware shop for mower parts, the rest of us came home for a snooze.
    The rain came at 6pm so we drove to Teen's. All the children and Barry were there as it was a celebration for Meredith's birthday. Yummy dinner made by Milly the eldest and Teen with dessert by the twins.
