Well over the past few days nothing really exciting has happened and so the Blogs are being amalgamated a little bit to save time. There comes a time when you feel that reporting on yet another shopping trip followed by lunch and a swim in the pool gets a little boring. But that is what we have been doing for the past few days but with the exception is that we are now planning our journey home.
The big question was would we be able to see my sister and brother in law in France who live near Rennes on the route home or not and not is the keyword here. So then should we come back on Ferries that arrive in Portsmouth but from the ports of Cherbourg, Caen and Le Havre but they tend to be more expensive and so we have decided to go back to the usual Calais to Dover route again. We have also been planning our sites and where to stay en- route home and which route home would we take, back via Paris with its heavy traffic or via the West of Paris with less traffic. So we are to travel from here via Limoges to Poitiers, where we will spend our first night and then leave Poitiers and travel via Le Mans and stop at Abbeville or Amiens for the second night before catching an afternoon ferry from Calais the next day. So we have booked our first site and also the ferry but we are just finalising the last night's location.
The site here has, following the weekend, become very quiet again and as I write this Blog there are perhaps only six paying guests on site at the moment and when you consider there are 75 emplacements, six wooden chalets and four mobile homes it becomes a challenge to meet anybody. In this respect it cannot be making any money for the owner which is a damn shame really as they have a put a lot in to this site.
We purchased some fish from the Carrefour Supermarket earlier this week and the quality is of a very high standard indeed and it was most enjoyable.
When writing this blog today, the 9th July, we have been on a morning walk to Carlucet which is the local village and there is not much there and even less going on and even the Church door was closed. But this place is on the Pilgrims trail from North West Spain to somewhere which we have yet to find out but we have not seen any pilgrims to ask yet. Noel has scanned the horizon looking for ox carts and men in long white robes but they seem to be on holiday somewhere in Benidorm.
Tonight its BBQ night with some good Costco rib eye steak and Cumberland pork sausages and all without wine Uhhh!
