As a welcome break from driving friends Mike and Liz were kind enough to host us for a second night here in Pirbright. Yesterday we went on a good walk around Brookwood cemetery and along part of the Basingstoke Canal with the winter backdrop giving it a different perspective - very pretty.
This was our welcome to the UK on our way into London last night on the first part of our journey up to Scotland for the festive period.
Pauline and I headed up to Tours yesterday afternoon for a bit of shopping, to check out the Christmas lights and to find a new dining experience. It was good to return to old habits that had been put on hold since 2019.
It proved to be an excellent choice!

We had a change of plan yesterday when rather than do the walk we had been doing recently we decided to get out our passports and venture over the bridge into 'La Vienne' and up the hill into the woods.
We choose the well trodden route to begin with before going off-piste and stumbling our way to new views over the Creuse Valley and then La Guerche itself.
