Grey and rainy in Bordeaux, Southern France

We're in Bordeaux for one day and two nights.  We tried to extend our stay with Sonya by a day in lovely Verbier and bypass the city, to no avail (no seats left on the train).  Tomorrow we're on our way to Ted Braam's organic farm, near a place called Condom, which is a few hours from here.  Ted and his wife are a Dutch couple who have a farm that we're going to 'wwoof' on for 10 days.  They have a lot of projects but that one that I'm most excited about it their 35 goats and cheese making!  I'd love to have that skill to utilize once I get home and set up my garden/farm.

Meanwhile it's grey and rainy in Bordeaux, which I consider just perfect.  After so much going on, I'm happy to sit in our hotel room and utilize the wifi to catch up on some very belated blogging.  Snowdon is having a snooze beside me - I wore him out this morning because I was upset, hence the marriage email that I just posted - not always an easy option for either of us! But fortunately we have once again ironed out the bumps that arose.

We did have a nice wonder around Bordeaux in the drizzle, and because it's Sunday we wondered upon a lovely market.  Then we found a cosy little affordable bakery/cafe.  I LOVE CHOCOLATE CROISSANTS AND THERE ARE SO MANY DIFFERENT DELICIOUS KINDS HERE! Mmmmmm mmmmmm.
