It feels as if I have been away forever -- flying around the world and experiencing the most amazing things along the way.
-- but it is good to back next to the Dordogne, the sound of the river waking me in morning, the farmers setting up their stalls for the morning market, the ducks squabbling below my window, the swans gliding serenely by (still no sign of little ones!), many of the fields that were lush and green when I left, now harvested and bare..............
But the tourists have arrived! In their thousands. Cars clogging up the bridge, people milling about, queues outside anything that looks like it could be worthwhile writing home about......... I had forgotten what August was like in the Southwest of France!
And this afternoon the first of my guests arrive -- and once again Chateau Lalinde will be humming with excited voices and laughter and people enjoying the pure pleasure of discovering the wonder of opening their bedroom windows onto the magnificent view of the Dordogne river!

Welkom terug! Ek wonder of ek selfs die moeite sou gedoen het om weg te gaan as ek in die Dordogne gewoon het. Dit lyk altyd vir my na die paradys uit al jou foto's uit!
dankie! Ja nee -- dit is 'n vraag wat soveel mense my al gevra het :-- "as mens in so 'n paradys woon, waar gaan jy met vakansie?" Die antwoord moet net doodeenvoudig wees -- nerens heen nie -- jy bly net tuis! -- Die trippie was egter hoofsaaklik vir werk, waaroor ek nog sal vertel (en so vlugtelings oppad 'n paar kosbare dae by my kinders).
Tell us Redshoes, where have you been gallivanting this last month? And what has been more important than the sound of the Dordogne waking you up in the early morning and the ducks and the swans milling past your abode? And what sort of powertalking have you been doing lately?
