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, PĂ©rigord, 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.
