Relaxation Starts Here...

The container is packed, and all we need to do now is spend our time enjoying France in all its glory! 

First stop - a market, of course, but this time it's just for me!

We reached this beautiful town named Beaugency, about 6km from where we stayed and while we were seated at a local corner shop (called a Tabac), an entire wedding ceremony came past us! 
We learnt the tradition is that the two familes will walk with the bride and groom down the street, signifying that they are being invited into each other's families.

David celebrated his 61st birthday while we were there, and we were lucky enough to have our landlords invite us in and treat us like family. It meant the world to us. Dave still goes on about how fantastic everyone treated us.

Just a little something for me

The Bride and Groom took time out of their special day to pose for us


Violet and Kendall also celebrated their birthdays with Dave, though it wasn't his 100th birthday!
We were treated like family, and it was such a treat to have this Home-Away-From-Home.
