Now we are six


The Lobelia passenger list dropped from 8 to 6 today. Andy’s parents, Dave and Wendy, departed their Lobelia cruise this morning and headed back to the UK in heavy rain. They found the sunshine further north – unfortunately the rain stayed with us at the barge.
It was not a good day for moving the boat, so we explored the area by car and ended up at a goat farm and shop. It was in the middle of nowhere, yet unlike the rest of France, it opened every day for a few hours.
The shop was tiny and the lady who ran it made us wait outside the open door for ten minutes until the official opening time at 4.30pm.
We stocked up with a wide variety of delicious goat cheeses and honey from heaven.
Before leaving we crept into the adjoining barn to admire the goats and praise them for being so generous with their milk : and sneakily they stole Dad’s de Gaulle hat!
