Tanaha and Travis visit Dordogne

Tanaha and Travis joined us after their Paris excursion during the first part of their European trip. The rural charm and beauty of the Dordogne region wowed them from the moment they arrived. Full of enthusiasm at the commencement of their holiday, Tanaha and Travis energised us to continue to explore Domme and its surrounds with great gusto!
The Cenac markets put on tantalising show that won Travis over and he was determined to give everything the region had to offer a go (even swapping beer for red wine). Alas, this ended in tummy woes which slowed his pace somewhat, confining his exploration to that of the bathroom.

Sadly, Sarlat did not see Travis, but Tanaha managed a shopping spree where the discovery of a vintage 'Channel' scarf managed to temporarily lift her spirits briefly while away from sick Travis.

But like all good men, he was not down for long. The next morning at sparrows, we had the most amazing time above the Dordogne, compliments of air balloon transport. It was truly breathtaking and an experience we will never forget.
Once more, we enjoyed scintilating and witty conversations as we did our best to boost the French economy, providing the most treasured times.

So thanks guys - having both daughters and their partners visit us really was the icing on our gateau!

  1. Well Travis clearly hasnt developed the old Dickson Iron Gut yet. Mum and I are very jealous, mum because she has always wanted to see the man of man paintings and me beacause of the red wine and food. Think Im going to head out and buy some duck fat. Second thoughts might know where there is some a little bit closer.

    Love Leash and Gran
