A wet day and a trip to see Wolves

We got up around 9am today and got some bread from the van that visits the campsite every day.  We had breakfast outside and I made some baguettes for lunch using some rilletes and tomatoes that we'd bought the day before.  Breakfast was fried boudin (like oniony black pudding), mushrooms and eggs.  It all tastes so much better cooked and eaten outdoors!

We drove to Guéret after breakfast and had lunch in the city centre.  It was a pretty rainy morning.  After a quick wander around rainy Guéret we drove the short distance to the Loups de Chabrieres wildlife sanctuary and saw some amazing wolves as well as tame and miniature deer  and other animals.  Feeding time at 4pm was really interesting and a bit of a frenzy!  The noise in the video is Gordon's camera in burst mode.  The weather had cleared up by the time we left.

We went back to the campsite for a quick wash (and I had a swim) then we went back into Boussac for dinner, having a really nice meal at the Restaurant du Centre.  On return to the campsite a couple of beers at the bar rounded off a nice day.  The sky was really clear and it always amazes me how many stars you can see from a non-light polluted rural campsite.
