Made our way down from the l'Espinousse mountains through beautiful scenery as usual.
Spoilt for comfort in guest room at friends who used to live in Whitstable. They have rented a large house out in the country at Gabian near to Pezanas and Beziers. On Sunday we spent a glorious afternoon on the beach at Portirgnes Plage south east of Beziers. There must have been a gale somewhere recently (would we have noticed!), as there was loads of driftwood on the beach, all really smoothed out as if the tree had been at sea for years.
Dogs went mad racing along the sands.
It was around this time that I noticed Gybo was drinking a lot and not eating all her food, but that afternoon she appeared to be in fine form. However, she flatly refused any food that night or the next morning and started drinking gallons, so that evening saw us at the vet in Pezanas who did blood tests and explained that there was something wrong with her liver. Couldn't say what without further investigation but it could be serious. We were due out that night as it was Hugh's birthday supper, and not only returned late for it but without the party spirit. It was agreed that we would give her anti biotics for 5 days and a liver protection pill for 20 but to see a vet again if she wasn't better in 5 days. So our plans changed again and we holed up at the house the next day to give Gybo a stress free day and decided to move off to a campsite within striking distance for a further appointment which we have made for the Saturday 3rd.
Probably an obvious observation, but the food in the shops here is such good quality. And of course there are enormous supermarkets offering so much choice. We come across the Intermarche regularly who apparently have their own fishing fleet. Bass suggested we had prawns and moules on our last night and we had a scrummy supper. The best prawns and moules I have eaten.
