hot, hotter, holiday

The dream trip to France is drawing close and I'm a nervous wreck.

In the news from France right now: airport chaos, horrible heatwave and the pandemic running rampant again. And I hate packing and am afraid of flying and it will cost me half my savings.

And I'm going to France. Medieval castles, wine, cute villages, history. I am so lucky. Even if I have to view it from the window of my air-conditioned, covid-safe car.

planning a medieval route

Planning a medieval route through Poitou, Périgord, Languedoc ... Have lovelier words ever been written? 

France is my dream country. It has all the history, all the castles, all the wine. It's almost unfair.
