DeleteI would love to visit Lourdes, amazing place!☺
ReplyDeleteSo very different. Have a good day Diane
DeleteGorgeous photos Diane, your visitors would have enjoyed exploring so much. Can you believe your temperatures are exactly the same as ours at the moment, no rain for a while either. I suppose autumn and spring can be similar at times, except for the dropping leaves and growing new ones thing 😉 Hope you are both keeping well, much to my annoyance the cough has returned 😱 Take care xx
ReplyDeleteThanks very much, it was all a bit hectic. Sorry about the cough,mine comes and goes!! Have a good day Diane
DeleteWhat an amazing place to live and tour. Thanks for the shout out on the blog. Good to hear from you. I had not been checking on you cause I remembered some months ago you posted all you would be doing and I knew you were staying busy. Have you made it or when will you make it to Africa?
ReplyDeleteOnly go to RSA 9 October return mid November. Cheers Diane.
DeleteIt looks like you are taking your friends to some amazing places! Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pam. Have a good day Diane
DeleteHi Diane - no worries .. just lovely to see the photos - the places you visited ... I'd love to see Carcassone, but then Albi looks amazing ... good luck sorting all things out ... great to see nature too - oh yes and your friends! Cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteThank you Hilary, it is certainly going to be hit and miss blogging for the remainder of this year. Keep well Diane
DeleteI can see now why you have been so busy, Diane! I don't know how Americans survive their 'Europe in a week' style vacations - they must need a month off afterwards to recuperate! Seriously though, I've really enjoyed this post, especially as I have visited (even stayed at) a few of those places. Take good care and don't overdo things - - - Richard
ReplyDeleteHectic Richard, glad you enjoyed the post. best wishes Diane
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful memories here. A great time of year to travel to this region too.
ReplyDeleteHow very wonderful to have your friends visit, and all the places you and Nigel took them to visit. I'm so glad y'all had a good time. As always, I love, LOVE, your beautiful photo's.
