Day 2 - Shepherdswell to Calais

Our nights stay with Stella and Mike Pascall in Shepherdswell could not have gone better. Stella gave us a terrific home cooked meal of Shepherds pie with home grown veggies from their allotment and we had rhubarb and apple crumble for dessert. We had separate rooms with lovely comfy beds and a bathroom to ourselves. It was heaven. Our hosts were wonderful company, they are very interesting, well traveled and very active.
