Home tomorrow after two glorious weeks travelling in Southern England and South West France with dearest friends. The photos each day have been just a selection of so many magical and unforgettable moments; and how lucky we have been that the weather cooperated with blue skies and sunshine almost every day.

Thanks to all of you who joined us, albeit virtually. It was great to be able to share the holiday with you and I hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.

…for J and V.

This morning we said farewell to Bergerac after a week filled with great memories of this beautiful region of France, with special thanks to Laurence and Pascal.

This afternoon we were greeted by the glorious Surrey countryside as we return to England for the final few days of our travels with dearest friends.

We spent our last day visiting Bordeaux. So much to see but too little time.

We definately need to come back.

The highlight of today was our visit to Saint-Emilion, listed as a world heritage site by UNESCO in 1999. After climbing the 171 steps of the bell tower the view of the town and the surrounding countryside was simply and (literally!) breathtaking.

Before returning to Bergerac we visited Chateau de Monbazillac after another spectacular day.

I’m not sure how much more of this I can take!

This morning’s view of the bridge over the Dordogne which leads to the centre of Bergerac.

The main square of the 13th century bastide town Monpazier, a member of Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, and where we had baguette and cheese for lunch.

The spectacular Chateau de Biron which we toured in the afternoon.

This balcony of cascading flowers in the main square of the bastide town of Villeréal was a colorful climax to another memorable day. It just keeps getting tougher!
