Today we drive on to Beaune to meet up with Alfie, I’m so excited. We get there early afternoon and again check into another nice hotel with another lift that I loved. I must say I could get used to this hotel life, but no time to relax on the bed (and they wouldn’t let me go in the hotel pool either, which annoyed me a bit as it was very hot) as yet again they had to go out and find food and wine straight away. I must say, Beaune is a lovely place, all very historical with old streets and bars and cafes everywhere, but I can’t get the name. I was expecting the streets to be paved with, if not real bones, at least Bonio’s but no, just a load of old cobbles. But I got over my disappointment in the excitement of Alfie and his Daddies’ arrival.
As was to become a habit on this trip, we all met up in a cafe late afternoon, and over yet another couple of yet even more expensive wines for them (these French poodles must earn a lot of money, everything costs a fortune.....) and just water for us, we spent a happy couple of hours catching up.

Then of course more food was needed so the grown ups decide to stop and eat outdoors on the way back to the hotel – no thought for me of course, I normally have my tea at about 5.30, so apart from a few scraps of French nosh from their plates, I had to wait for ages for my own dinner – a couple of glasses of wine and they get very forgetful....
