Towards the Pyrenees

We're now into our 9th day on the road and we have moved down as far as a lovely little town called  Villefranche de Rouergue, between Cahors and Carcasonne. We had two nights in Bergerac on our pleasant site on the banks of the Dordogne then picked our way across country towards Cahors before a lovely lakeside picnic lunch in a tiny village in the midi Pyrenees. We arrived here in Villefranche de Ruergue in mid afternoon and enjoyed the hottest weather we have yet experienced, not baking but very warm. Suffice to say Lyn has had her first proper sunbathing session and we have had a first barbecue and bottle of rose!!
We are again riverside, this time on the banks of the Aveyron, and there is a pleasant riverside walk into what is a beautiful, unspoilt gem of a town. Marked difference  in geography here (not surprising!) and we are surrounded by the foothills of the Pyrenees. Very few British people around though we did see one other British vehicle this morning. To our continuing surprise young Ted is behaving himself very well so far!
After a couple of nights here we intend heading towards Carcasonne and then on into Catalonia. The weather forecast threatens thunderstorms over the next few days, though, so we're not rushing!
Wifi not great here so will put a few photos on here when I can.
