• A door day

    John did all the emptying and filling at campsite. There was a huge green water cushion affair. We think in case of fire or drought. Not for drinking though.

    Then a short drive today to an Aire in a lovely quiet village due north of Agde, called Montpeyroux. Our chosen route kept saying 'deviation' as the road was closed and inevitably the deviation signs disappeared so it was a longer journey than planned. Had a gentle wander around the place, which was so quiet that we thought it must be an extra bank holiday but it wasn't. We did notice that they had a 3 hr lunch break from 1.30 to 4.30 so maybe that was it.
    A ginger cat decided to follow John and join us on our walk.
    I like doors. We both like doors. Some people like football, some like cars but I like doors. And today there were a lot of appealing doors, we couldn't stop snapping them.
    Once back at the van, some people stopped with a couple of kids, who ran around and bounced off the van. Once was fine, a mistake but then it happened twice, it was when one of them threw a piece of gravel at the van that we decided to open the door. At which point grandma gave them a mouthful, a clip round the ear and apologised. Before they left, she knocked on our door and apologised again.

    I also spent 90 mins on webcam with SMARTY trying to troubleshoot on getting our TPLink MiFi dongle thingy to get the WiFi we've paid for. It eventually worked! Result! Downside is we can only have the roaming for 60 days, not 90 as we'd thought.
