Bonjour all,
Hope you're well. Thought I would send you some more photos.
I'm sitting in a café in Sarlat, waiting for our car salesman to drop off a loan car to use before our new car is delivered in about 15 days time - very exciting! Speaking of Sarlat, it's a must visit if you're over here. The picture below was taken in the really old part of Sarlat - it's beautiful. It's used as a backdrop in a heap of period movies. Here is Soph and Connor holding up a pair of geese!
The photo below is Sophie standing in front of our house. These tulips only flower for ten days of the year! Had to take a snap.
The following shot is of our neighbouring village. It's across the valley from our hamlet. It gives you a good feel for how high up we are. The locals say if you can see the snow on the Massif Central mountains it's not a good sign for the weather. We saw them yesterday and sure enough today is freezing! It's about 15 degrees outside. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and over 20c - bring it on!
The house we have here is fantastic. It's massive and we feel very, very lucky. Here is Jane in the kitchen, pondering her next masterpiece!

The dining table is huge and how's this fireplace! Back in the day, the farmers used to sit around this type of fireplace, eat, chat, and probably sleep near it too. With temperatures reaching -15c in winter its impressive how these guys survived on the land.
Here is a frosty morning on the front patio, having breakfast - it's a great spot. Leaves are just starting to appear on those trees you can see in the foreground.
I've never eaten so much cheese, cream, and bread, and drank so much wine in my life! And I'm loving it! But I still feel pretty healthy - go figure?! It's all just such good quality and the selection of red wines, in the supermarket(!), is mind blowing! We're big fans of the blood red wines of Cahor, we'll just have to drop down there to do some wine tasting. Here is us in a café in Figeac.
Here is our little man in Cahor. Connor is melting the hearts of many French madams with his "au revoir" when we're saying good bye - his very first French word. 
Bye for now and best wishes from Jane, Sophie, Connor, and me.
