One of my oldest friends, Christine, and her husband David arrived on the 31st May for 10 days. Christine and I have known each other since we were 16 so we have a lot of shared memories! They had driven down from Yorkshire to Poole to catch the ferry and then down here, having a night in the Loire on the way down. N is feeling much better now but still not 100%. Once again our visitors were to be somewhat disappointed with the weather but we still managed to get out and about quite a lot and also have some lazy time in the garden when the sun shone. I went down to Pau for the day with them they had a day at Capbreton (by the sea) when amazingly the sun shone. The dogs had more walks than usual as C and D like walking and exploring the local area. On their last day we all went out for lunch to the Hotel du Commerce in Estang which is about 15 miles away. It was recommended to me by a friend of our Dutch friend Nelleke and is indeed very good. I had taken N's parents there, when he was in hospital, and they too were very impressed with it. It's a nice drive there, through the vineyards of Armagnac, and they provide a very good 4 course lunch for 11euros 50. They left early the next morning, before we were awake, to make the long journey back to Yorkshire. If you read this Christine I am really missing you and the help you gave me, it is quite difficult having to empty the dishwasher again!!
