I quite thought, when I got up this morning, that I would be telling you tonight that we were sadly on our way home. There was a very sharp frost indeed overnight, and although we were snug and warm in bed, when I got up it was to find no running water! The Swan Whisperer investigated, and it became clear that the pump was still working, but the water in the pipes underneath had frozen! Luckily there was a public loo (the Turkish kind) just across the car which was clean, warm and had paper! Sadly it didn't have hot water, so washing was done with a kettle of drinking water and/or wipes.
Then the heating didn't seem to want to work properly, either, so we looked and saw there was a motor home place over Limoges way, which might be able to help, (and from there we could either go on or go home) but it was closed until 14:00, and by the time we had done a bit of shopping, everything was fine, and the pipes hadn't burst. So we headed on, another interminable drive, and now we are out of the frost zone, and only a couple of hours from Barcelona. It is windy, but much warmer than last night.
Such a beautiful sunset en route. I tried to take photos, but they are too yellow. The reality was much redder.
We are at Mas Alart, where we have stayed before, blissfully quiet and we can buy some of the white wine we like so much! Such a friendly family, they remembered us.
