In case my last post gave the impression that we spent our time in Moncrabeau doing absolutely nothing I thought I should add a few activities which might demonstrate that we weren't completely idle!
On one cloudy day we went into Nerac which is such a pretty town and walked with the dogs along the river, admiring the boats and the historic bath house of Henri 1V. However, we did feel that such effort needed to be followed by a substantial lunch outside in the old square!
Keith convinced us that the pool was 25 degrees and although I am a fan of cold water I think that was generous. The blow up pool armchairs were great for some entertaining games of bumper pool chairs and I managed to perfect the art of balancing on a blow up pouffe, though with my bottom in the air, not terribly elegant. Great fun all the same! J did make it into the pool though not for very long, claiming it was too cold.
I was also able to indulge my hobby for washing and ironing - great joy to stay in a house for a few days and use the washing machine and the iron to try and set out on the next leg of our journey with a fresh set of clothes.
We also walked a little though mainly around the village and along the river so I don't think we'll be getting any prizes for energetic activity. Such a perfect spot with such lovely friends just invites indolence and I'm sure it was good for our state of mind if not for our waist lines!
