Still here

Had a first for us both today. We tried a 'raclette', which was a bit like a warmed ploughman's without the bread and pickles but potatoes instead. Wine included. They brought the food to the van together with a warming hotplate affair, and little paddles, which we melted the cheese on. Self cooking by the customer. Interesting to try as a novelty but at €20 each we'll not be making a habit of it.
Went into Beauvais and found a battery place, where we bought a battery. Now an eye watering €165 worse off. Another place we tried would have cost €219! Trouble is, we could do with two. I haven't a clue about it and John's unfamiliar with the contemporary systems. He spent a good while tackling and tinkering.
Still unsure of the cause and how to resolve it.
Had a swim in the pool at 4.45pm so it was pretty cold and dark. Just fairy lights outside.Read more
