Monday 28th August - Chamouilley

A lovely lie in this morning - could get used to it!!  It was a beautiful day with a promise of some serious heat to come so Skip cleaned the outside of the boat as soon as possible before it got too hot. Around ten o'clock the Belgian 'chicken boat' arrived.  To our surprise the crew was two women.....and still two chickens!    They released the chickens for a scratch about which I suppose was a good thing but Crew still can't forgive them for abandoning them overnight!
Crew had weighed herself in the morning and was not best pleased......self inflicted, I know! So a new regime was in order.
The plan was to see if the restaurant was open for lunch so we walked into the village to find that it was!  We asked for  a table 'exterieur' and found ourselves seated on a little terrace at the back of the hotel.  What a find!  Impeccable service and a delicious 4 course menu for €27 with a pichet of good wine around €8.  Skip was also very happy with the Leffe blonde draught beer!  We staggered back to the boat, thoroughly replete!!  A siesta was definitely on the cards after such a lovely lunch!!  The diet will have to start tomorrow, unless........!!
A lazy afternoon and evening with the joy of a beautiful sunset, followed by the last three episodes of  the second series of Line of Duty (another programme we didn't manage to watch at home).  Crew had now developed a painful shoulder blade (going downhill fast!) so we haven't decided whether or not to leave tomorrow.....will think about that in the morning!
