Turkey Curry and Party Poppers

The river from the 'high village' at
Angles-sur-l'Anglin. Spectacular!

So Tim, Amanda, Liana, and James have departed and we are left with the remains of a very large turkey. And it is true that the party poppers are all popped, but we are still recovering their remains from under the furniture!
So, turkey curry it is tonight.
And a day as a tourist for us. We visited Angles-sur-l'Anglin, an ancient medieval town, home to ancient cliff carvings, and called the "English Town". On the way we explored Chauvigny, also medieval. There are plenty of ruins in each of them, and tremendous views from their high places.
So why is Angles-sur-l'Anglin the English Town? We wondered this and finally read a history that recalled a cleft in the cliff that allowed the English to climb up and take the fortress. Perhaps this was it, but the history book at home claims the name is derived from the word "English" (French 'Anglaise') and the fact that to this day the inhabitants are called "les Anglais". Whatever the reason, the town is well worth a visit, even in the winter. And the carvings are strange!
