The sun has got his hat on!

A gorgeous morning today, Thursday.  We got up fairly early and had a nice breakfast at the campsite again.  Thursday is market day in Boussac so we went and had an explore.

Before leaving Boussac we also visited the Chateau de Boussac and had a fascinating tour.  It was in French and I think Gordon understood more than I did.  The Chateau was in the same family for quite a few years and then it became the seat of the smallest sub-prefecture in France.  It was an office of the Gendarmerie Nationale and was bought by the current owners in the 1960s.  They have installed a number of objects authentic to the time (although not from the Chateau) and a number of Aubusson tapestries.

At the market we had bought a huge cèpe mushroom for lunch which Gordon cooked with some parsley and garlic. We ate it with some of today's baguette.  It was delicious! We had a lazy afternoon around the campsite then had some pasta for dinner,
