Vineyards and more vineyards - Bordeaux regions
Another hard day. Lots of road walking. Walked most of the day in sandals cos very hot now; knees manageable but shoulders ache; Duscussed with Mo whether the right adjective to describe this is tedious, tortuous or arduous. Decided the latter a lot of the time. Stayed at Chambre d'Hote with Bernadette et Serge. Lovely meal of Pot au feu (cos the English like meat well cooked) and oeufs au lait (egg custard) - Jenny
We set off fro, Pellegrue in increasingly warm sunshine. It remained bright and warm all day. The route was on roads all the way except for a kilo,eter just outside Pellegrue. We missed the waymarking and walked all day on roads<; It became hot and waring but you could walk on the side of the road and the edge of the vineyards. Here our feet became yellow from the dandelions that carpeted the vineyards. We past Chateau after Chateau advertising the Grand vin of Bordeaux. Roz of apple trees in blossom relieved the monotony of the of the vineyards. The countryside was beginning to green up as we walked into Spring. There were fewer wild flowers but cuckoo flowers were scattered on the roadside verges. Frogs could be heard again croaking and mating. The roadside ditches were full of frogspawn. Mo
