We are at our house-sitting location at the moment, near the medieval village of Issigeac but we don't want to give the exact location out of respect of the owner's privacy.
We had a relatively short drive today, made somewhat further by a detour of around 10 km around the final village before we had to turn of the regional road, Murphy's Law. It sent us into the countryside on an ever-narrowing country road for a huge circle to arrive back at a point 500m from where we set off. Anyway, once completed we had a quick look at Issigeac (it looks lovely) before meeting the owners of the house-sit. We'll be back on Sunday for the famous market.

The property is amazing and we are looking forward to looking after it and the animals for a week. Bokkie will get some well-earned rest and pampering as I need to spend some time on the fridge which sometimes gives trouble setting onto gas, as well as a light fitting that is giving trouble.
It's going to be nice to sleep in a proper bed and have four walls around us for a week. A shower without a push-button - Bliss!
We've met all the animals and Toni has even had time to get to know the neighbour's chickens. We will post some pics during the week but probably won't blog for a couple of days.
