One of the wonderful pleasures of living in this beautiful part of the world, is, on a balmy summer's day, to pack a picnic basket and set off with a couple of good friends along the winding little country roads, find the perfect spot, throw down the blanket and, for an hour or two, enjoy a glass of wine, some delicious cheeses, local sausages, crispy French bread, fresh fruit from the region -- and -- if you have been good all week, a scrumptious pastry from the village bakery for dessert. 
The Dordogne abounds with perfect picnic spots -- and few things can be more pleasurable than discovering new and better ones each time the picnic urge grabs me!Last week, whilst picnicking on the banks of the Vezere River, a gorgeous dog came to join us -- bringing his own toy with him -- a battered dirty old tennis ball, and before long I was persuaded to join in his game of "fetch!" (funny how animals pick out a soft touch first time every time!)
