Of course the only reason that we decided to spend some time in the Lot valley rather than the nearby Dordogne is because “Lot” rhymes with so many more words than Dordogne – in fact the only one I can think of for Dordogne is Bourgogne as in;
Drinking a glass of Bourgogne, watching the river Dordogne.
The Lot provides far more opportunities. So, we could have posted an entry about Villeneuve-sur-Lot which, despite its position, is one of the most unattractive towns we have seen for a long time, with the title “A blot on the Lot”.
The recent cold and rainy weather could have inspired an entry entitled “not so hot on the Lot”.
Julie has already cringed at me saying, at the end of a riverside walk, “well that’s your Lot then” or saying as we approach yet another “sur-Lot” town “I’ve heard there’s a Lot to see around here”.
I could go on but it doesn’t seem fair to subject our blog readers to any more bad humour. Mind you, it won’t stop me thinking up Lot(s) more bad puns to subject Julie to – and you can understand now why the poor girl is so looking forward to coming home in September!
