We've arrived at our house-sit location so I won't give too much detail on our location. We had a lovely time in the campsite and it was just what we needed to hide from the heat. We were amazed at the families touring with kids in trailers towed behind their bikes, or following on their own tiny bikes with Mom and Dad carting all their camping gear. They would either stay a few days in their tents and explore the area or stay overnight and continue their journey in the morning. It is really a popular area for cycling with flattish routes along the canal and disused rail lines.
We went into Le-Roc on Sunday morning as there was supposed to be a market but we couldn't find it (and it's not a big town) so we settled for a baguette and the boulangerie. Mid-morning we set off to the house as we were only about half an hour away.

It was lovely to meet our hosts again and the garden looks amazing in it's summer splendour. We also got to meet Jasper, the 4-month old kitten we will be looking after along with old-girl, Jess (a 14 year old stunning black cat). We aren't on photo terms with Jess yet, but she is lovely as well. So far she just comes in for food, but no cuddles yet....we'll give it some time.

As you will see, Jasper already has us wrapped around his fingers (?) and is quite a handful when he is awake.
We had a wonderful supper with our hosts (with lots of veg, salad and berries from their garden) and they departed to Spain with their caravan this morning. We have a lovely house for the next three weeks, loads of gardening to do and two lovely cats to cuddle. Then we get to do it all over again for six months from October, heaven!
