Travelling south

Tuesday we shall continue driving south, hopefully into sunshine, through Rennes, Nantes, Angouleme, then down to Perigeaux and our final destination near Bergerac. We're looking forward to seeing the sun in France. It's been so long since that glorious but unseasonal week in March....
