Chris, here is a site about gardens to visit in Dordogne.
http://www.northofthedordogne.com/gardens.php I've been to Eryrignac (quite formal, a lot of clipped hedges, white rose garden, not far from Sarlat), Marqueyssac (more topiary, lovely woodland walk with great views of the Dordogne river, but not really flower beds), Les Jardins de Sardy (long way from Sarlat, but I liked it, more like a proper garden), les Jardins Tranquille near Brantome ( I knew the previous owner who gave me a lot of plants, haven't been since it changed hands, was the most English in style). There are others on that site. The village of Roque Gageac is worth a trip, pretty.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Afties all! Thanks for the summary Geoff - needn't bother to read everything now
Lovely photos of your dogs - Olive looked particularly good in the snow . Archie has settled in and had a nice walk. Bit difficult typing and he's gone to sleep right next to me - almost under my left arm! Only problem is he loves to bark at the birds on the bird table but they don't seem to mind at all.
Hope you're OK after your fall Bunny. A chap from the council was delivering leaflets here this morning about some local meeting. The first I knew of his arrival was when I heard a crash and looked out and saw someone on the floor just outside the conservatory. He was no youngster and was quite shaken up. Archie & his owner had just arrived and he was barking and thinking it was some sort of game. I made him come in and sit for a while and offered him some tea. He'd cut his hand so I sorted that out and it turns out he is the local Mayor and his wife is also on the Council and on the Governing Body of the school where I used to work! Hope I don't get sued or anything. He then told me he had fallen in his fishpond yesterday!!! Have got his wife's email address so maybe I will contact her later to see if he's OK. I felt awful but there was nothing obvious there that he could have tripped over.
Have just had a viewing- a mother and daughter -seemed quite nice did ask about the flat roof-quickly glossed over that one-might have got away with it
So one day the Mayor falls in his fishpond and the next day he falls over again-I think he has been to one of Bjays parties
Caz, how is he able to stand as Mayor if he can't stand on his own two feet? At least you were a good samaritan and tended to his injuries. If you want to put in a planning application for something, now might be a good time!
Been to the plot and done some plantingbut now back at work
Geoff!! Where did you get that photo? Have you been sneaking into my bathroom??

Probably his guilty conscience of all the lies and crap he feeds everyone!
Thanks Becks - I never thought of it like that - feel better now
How's Jess - did she go to Nursery?
