Summer Break, 1 August 2024

Much, much cooler this morning, and although it got hotter in the afternoon. We even had to turn the air-con down a bit when we went for a drive. Our first port of call was a village called Rochechouart, which had rather a lovely chateau, but the car park firmly said No Motor homes, so we went on, first to a rather pleasant lake and then to a nearby archaeological site, whose name escapes me, but there wasn't much to see there; the Swan Whisperer thought it was a Roman temple, but hidden inside the visitor centre. Our final port of call was another chateau, at somewhere called Etignac. We think this is let out as holiday flats, as it looked lived-in, but didn't say "Private"! Photos on Facebook. 

Back to the campsite via what was supposed to be a scenic route but wasn't, very. Quite pleasant along the banks of the Vienne, though. 

Lunch, and then to the hospital; Mum still in bed, but they hope to get her up tomorrow. She seemed a bit more awake today, which was good. 

The Daughter is coming out on Saturday, which will be lovely - AND bringing my meds with her (she has just been to the flat to pick them up, bless her), and the idea is she will take over from us on Monday, probably, so we will come home on Wednesday; it's possible Mum will be able to be repatriated then, but if not my sister will probably come out. So lots of admin today, but all good stuff!
