The Fish 10972 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Was at a wedding in the Loire Valley in France, near to Tours(ish). Food was excellent, wine was cheap and top class, the local cider was superb. And I got to spend time looking at views like this a Now I'm back in fucking grey London at a fucking grey desk doing fucking grey work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catmag 337 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 This is going to be very, very weird if it turns out to be the same place, but is that Chateau de Clerbice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, that's apparently about 160 mile south west of where I was (Château de l'Isle Savary) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice dream, but that part of France is so sleepy, such a pain in the arse to get to, best to keep it as a dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15740 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Partway through the Lakes/Arran/Northumberland trip. Weather's been grand so far - typing this while getting a baldy heed tan on the deck of the Arran ferry. Driving's been fine but I did forego the challenge of the Hardknott Pass and co. (not driving into red deer on Arran has been enough of a challenge). This country is pretty brilliant, at least when you have good luck with accommodation, food/drink and the weather And not running over wildlife.

McFaul 35 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I've been all over Europe, Thailand, I've been all over the shop but this Loch Lomond is the most beautiful place I've ever been. Genuinely staggering. I can even cope with the Hungarian and Polish waiters in the hotel it's that nice. Sad to be coming back tomorrow. Mad thing is, had more sun in four days than I've had all summer and we're in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 (edited) The waiters were probably more likely to be racist going off the conversations I've had with members of the Polish community.
