La Giraudiere pick up some good bargins at a Bric à Brac in Saint Quentin

This Sunday morning, Marlou went off to Aubeterre with her mum who is staying in Brossac for the weekend while the rest of us went off to a Bric à Brac at Saint Quentin, not far from Chalais. There we had a delicious meal of pâté and bread, steak and chips, dessert and wine/water all for the great total of 8 euros! We also picked up some good bargins, Emilie bought some beautifully decorated salt and pepper shakers for her parents, Paul bought three tennis rackets and Emily and John bought some French books.

When we returned to LG the sunshine made an appearance so we took Marisela to the lake. The weather was however a little too cold to be swimming in though so instead we just enjoyed the sun by sitting by the lake as opposed to in it.

In the evening we were surprised to see Gayle and Derrick return back from Dordoigne a day early. They had a brilliant time but had managed to see everything they had gone there for. They had already eaten dinner but the rest of us hadn’t so we decided to eat pizza and lasagne and enjoy a quiet night in watching the comedy The Proposal.
