Sunday October 21st.

The coldest morning so far at minus 3 deg. It was a good thing that Beatrice covered the Lemon tree the evening before as we had a heavy frost overnight and ice on the car.
I drove in Rogny to buy the baguettes for lunch whilst Beatrice slaved away in the kitchen.
Our new good French friend Elizabeth came to have lunch with us sitting out under the pergola all wrapped up at 12deg with the sun shinning giving us some warmth.
What a great day it was, with Elizabeth insisting that she take us out tomorrow to see a couple of the great Chateaus at Chambord and Cheverny.
How could we refuse, so we made sure our bags were packed the rubbish all sorted out and some of the cleaning started as we would not have too much time left before we had to leave Les Toulerons.
Cold evening so we lit the fire and rested for a couple of hours before setting the alarm clock for 7 15 am and going to bed.
