The Ceynac route

After a fine breakfast of poached eggs, we set off for a tour of The Lot and Dordogne, taking in the sights of Cazals, Salviac, Domme, La Roque-Gageac and Beynac-et-Cazeriac. I was in charge of map reading and brought all my Duke of Edinburgh Award skills to the fore with aplomb and a pear.

BD was returned to the airport, and after stalling us for a while with a tale of charging elephants, chameleons and strolling leopards he disappeared through security with his foie gras contraband undetected in his size elevens.

I popped into L’Enfance to tell them the tales of the weekend, and oiled with a couple of your finest, returned to the house for a plate of baked beans.
