Day Four
Well we got up early and made our way to the Chateau and felt so privileged to be holding our business fair in such a wonderful place.
The hall had a beautiful painting at one end. It was a picture of the mad hatter’s tea party. The chairs were red velvet and fit for king and queen! It wasn't long before everything was in place for the big day tomorrow. We then went to see a lady who is in charge of events at the chateau as we are helping to coordinate a wedding for next September. We talked and took many pictures for the bride to be.
We next went to another town to make some last minute advertising.
We were given some tickets for a bio expo in Bergerac. It was late we were tiered and took the wrong turning parked the car and ended up in a gypsy encampment. The trailers were all out of this world and all had satellite TV. We were so tiered and our accommodation that we had booked didn't have a bath or heating that was working but looking at the vans in front of us it looked like they would probably have hot tubs! Anyway we decided it might be safer to swiftly move on and get back in our car and find the venue. The welcome was cold the venue looked terrible compared to the chateau we had just left.
There were 70 stands offering a healthy lifestyle. We can only describe it as a chocoholic’s nightmare! Yes we did find something to buy. Pink bubbly it was fab but we are still not sure what was healthy about it.
It was 8pm before we got back to our gite. We decided to go for a quick drink and have some dinner when we got home. As a rule we never drink the night before the venue. While staying in Eymet we had discovered the beer "desperado" with a slice of lemon. So easy to drink and after a couple of them in the Gambetta we were tapping away to the band which was playing.
We spoke with the vocalist and a photographer introduced himself. We had a good time the beers made me very tiered but Melanie decided to cook a big dinner for herself. I set the alarm for 6.30am and fell asleep and had an early night ready for our special day tomorrow.
