Holiday makers!!

We've had quite a succession of visitors in the last few weeks which has been lovely. Almost constant sunshine has made the Dordogne look even more beautiful than before. The garden is changing daily for the better, and we haven't killed or ruined anything... yet!
Those of you who know me well will know that I hate frogs, (unless their back legs are sauteed in garlic butter, and served with a cold, crisp white wine!), but even I have come to love our little tree frogs in the garden. Cute, Kermit green and with a very loud 'croak' !

Today we went off to discover three villages, new to us, all classified among 'Les Plus Beaux Villages de France'.
First we stopped off in Limeuil where the rivers Vezere and Dordogne meet. Quaint, steep & cobbled.

Then we went on to Belves for lunch and a wander around. Called the ' town of seven spires' for reasons which became quite obvious, the church here was built in 830 AD and had very well restored frescoes on the walls and today had brilliant sunlight shining through the stained glass windows. There was a vast range of architectural styles throughout the village.

And finally we visited Monpazier which has a stunning arched, stone market square. Each side was lined with quaint, quirky shops. The angles of the buildings had to be seen to be believed. Unique!

I'm going back to England for the week from tomorrow visiting family, and after that, still lots more visitors coming to see us! Still plenty to discover and to show! I'm going to miss this place when we leave at the end of April. It's been wonderful spending spring in the sunny Dordogne.
