Day Two (31 July)

We drove to Bergerac to pick up Diane!

We were an hour late.....

Katie had lent us her "tom-tom" (GPS) to get us there

It took us on a wild goose chase (!) through the countryside.

At least Di was okay - and had only just got out from customs.

 We spent a little time in Bergerac in the old part.

All the half-timber buildings are spectacular,

and the window box gardens so beautiful.

 We found a little brocantes first thing
("..within half an hour of getting off the plane" said Di)
and then stopped for a quick bite
(what is it called, Becky?)
and a cup of coffee.

After that, we hopped back in the car...
and used the MAP instead of the tom-tom
to get back home.
We stopped at the grocery in Riberac on the way
and bought LOTS of goodies for the week.
It was a simple drive back - no problem.

Katie joined us in the late afternoon.
She was stitching on her own project.

We were so happy to have her with us.

It is something she never gets to do during

the workshops and seemed to be such a treat for all.

We laughed and talked and caught up with 

one another -

We brought out "show-and-tell" and 

"ooohed and ahhhhed" a LOT

Becky worked on a little something that was inspired by 

things that Di brought from her workshop with Viv (Hen's Teeth)

We all ended up making things 

 inspired by Viv

(photos still to come)

After moving the table out to the porch and 

pouring the wine, we soaked up the day

and, honestly, could hardly wait to wake up the next.

a votre sante....
