Monday 21st July- Its time to clean my new knob (Tow ball actually)

As mentioned in a previous Blog, we need to change the tow ball on the back of the car to the one that should have been fitted by the dealer but wasn’t...

The ball comes covered with paint which you have to take off with fine sand paper, which we purchased at Do It All on our last brief UK visit, anyway it’s now clean and shiny and ready for fitting. So I tried to undo the nuts on the tow bar with my long handled spanner but after turning blue and nearly fainting with effort I gave up and will go to the garage tomorrow and get them to do it.

The rest of the day was spent reading and walking and also looking for Camp sites for our second night of travel home as it would appear that some of the sites near Le Havre are already full.

The weather today was a little cooler and this evening it’s turning quite cold and so we hid in the caravan and read. Tomorrow we plan to go to Cahors and spend the day there getting the tow ball fixed, do some washing and shopping and have a good lunch somewhere and generally make a nice and fruitful day of it.
