Carrefour to the rescue

Well, tuday weem starting the homeward journey, we've got 2 days tu get to Calais for the train home.
We're gunna be doin about 400 killies tuday, most of it on motorways, un as it's Sunday there'll be no big lorries as they ay allowed to drive. He's just noticed me mileometer has just clicked over the 24,000 miles, er thinks e meant on this trip, silly sod.
He's trying tu talk er into having a gu at driving, her ay sure, but her said OK. They change uvva at the services un off she goes, holding on tu me steering wheel for grim death until er starts tu relax. Then he starts telling er how tu use me cruise control, un weem away, 100 killies an hour, then the skies turn black un it throws it down. Why does it alus rain when er drives.
He's checking for a stopover before Caen, but she says she's alright driving, so weem going on a bit, might as well while it's quiet un it'll save doing it in the morning traffic.
He's found a nice little aire in Cabourg, where they con stretch their legs with a walk along the estuary. It's her fust time driving thru towns u hers doin okay till they gets tu the traffic lights where er gotta turn left down a small road tu the aire. Lights turn green un her crosses the carriageway fine, gets 10 yards down the lane and there's a sign un barrier says 'route barree' - road closed. Uh oh, luckily there's a small road behind her un an entry just in front, out he gets un directs er back un forward till the can move off, unny problem is them further forward than the traffic lights, she cautiously pulls forward just as another car turns into the road, e day know it was closed either, no signs. He reverses un pulls off, they look, both sides un the road is clear, so off she goes, following the deviation signs.
Okay, so far, until they get tu the Aire. 'Computer say no', the aire's full, so another 3 point turn while e looks fo somewhere else. Carrefour to the rescue, according to hes site app, un the Brit who's just pulled up alongside, there's 50 pitches available on their carpark, free of charge. It's a no-brainer, so off she sets. Sure enough, huge carpark un about 15 other motorhomes, pitched up around the edge. Into reverse un parks up in a bay.
Rain, deviation, 2 x 3 point turns, narrow roads un reverseing, not bad for a beginner, even he says so. No leg stretch as it's starting to look a bit dark, so it's time for a drink instead.もっと詳しく
