I found this article today doing some background research on the Lot et Garonne. It’s quite an old article but very interesting. In fact, I want to pack a bag and go exploring now, having read it! Having seen the latest Ryanair offer, it’s quite feasible too.

I have been staying at Beauregard for 20 plus years now and it is a joke in the family that I never get to visit any places! Friends and family talk of trips to Domme, Rocamadour, the beach, the Pyrenees, Bordeaux. I have been nowhere! A few day trips to the Lascaux caves, Ste. Foy La Grande and Marmande.

I think the problem is that when you go to the same place, you become familiar with it and know that you can do the touristy-thing whenever you like. Which in my case, just hasn’t happened. Don’t get me wrong, I have really enjoyable holidays at Beauregard. I love pottering about, sun-bathing, swimming, chilling, reading my books; it’s all I need to have a great time. My motto seems to be, ‘We’ll do the trip tommorrow!’  

After all, I’ve lived in London for most of my life and have never been to Westminster Abbey…. for the same reasons , I would guess. 

And with the imminent move, I am really looking forward to doing the ‘touristy-thing’ and reporting back in Beauregard the Blog!
