Day Two - Riberac

Well the boys arrived on time and very excited especially when they saw the chapel!!. We showed them to their rooms and then headed out for something to eat. We met a couple from America looking for a large house to rent for a party that they were planning for next year. We of course recommended the chateau and said that it would be a good idea to visit our business fair. While the boys were enjoying a well-deserved drink we began to tell them about the ghosts!!. So funny they found the thought of that exciting too. We got back to the chapel and went to bed as we new that Friday would be a busy day. Yes survived another night but couldn't hear the boys. We got our things ready and headed to the Riberac market.
We had written to the mairie asking if we could display signs at the parking of the market and he said no but hey someone was looking out for us as a space was waiting right on the entrance. We parked up and put one of our large magic mouse posters on the car. Perfect it was in view for everybody to see. I thought with hundreds of people visiting the market I would adapt two of my other signs into sandwich boards so that I could parade around the market. What we do eh to get business in!!. Melanie had the job of looking pretty and handed out publicity and stood back as for once all eyes were on me!!. Not sure that she could handle that bit.
The weather wasn't so good to us and the heavens opened. Oh yes we continued to walk around that market again and again.
After our duty we went to perigeux to find Melanie a top and to meet up with our mentor Martin from Anglo info for a drink. We had a nice time and got back to the chateau for 4pm for when the portaloo was arriving. Loo arrived and 330 euros later we left to put up our 30 odd signs. Arriving back at the house to meet for dinner 8.20. This time we went to a nice restaurant in Riberac and the rain, the lightening and the thunder struck. It was so powerful we left and went back to the chapel. Oh my god what a shock water was everywhere running into the electrics and the floors in the bathroom and the boys rooms were soaking. The whole place was damp and now being midnight Melanie and I had to get out of there so we called the chateau at 11pm and Jane a member of staff came to the rescue. She offered us a gite just ten minutes from the chateau. Quick as the lightening outside our car was packed we were gone leaving the boys behind!!. At gone midnight Jane’s husband greeted us at gite. His name is Michael so we named him Archangel Michael with the rain in full pelt we carried all our bags in. We had showers and folded over 300 leaflets for the fair. It was 2am and we decided to call it a night.
