Storms over the Dordogne : and in Chateau Lalinde!

Just as Chateau Lalinde is standing all 'dressed up' for this week's visitors, rooms ready, towels fluffed, fresh flowers everywhere -- big drama! In the middle of the night a storm broke over the Dordogne with thunder and lighting -- and very heavy rain. A deluge! I got up out of bed to come downstairs to check that the pool was not overflowing, only to find a waterfall cascading down the marble staircase! There must be a blocked gutter up on the roof, for the water was simply streaming through the ceiling over the double volume staircase, running down the stairs, down the walls, flooding the floor in the entrance hall. soaking carpets and drenching the furniture.

La Bella di Firenze put her arms over her head and exclaimed "Un inondazione del Noah!", and Cromwell the pig just sat there, dazed, wet and miserable.

So -- back to work to get everything dry and cleaned up again -- before the guests arrive!
