• Dry ... a walk

    February 28, 2024 in France ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C

    A dry and mild day. Warm even, in the sun. I felt more like a human bean today and we both felt a bit stir crazy, so a walk to the sea was a welcome prospect. So good to be moving limbs again after the limitations of driving and then resting for 2 days in an enclosed camper.
    We had drinks and a light lunch, croques monsieur for John and flaky pastry goat cheese and spinach quiche for me. The milk I asked for to add to my black coffee was a supplement apparently and cost €1. Very odd, there wasn't much of it.
    Having been in Spain for so long it was noticeable and a delight to hear the musical speech of French people everywhere again.
    We saw a tiny circus (goat's, sheep, llama in a bell tent).
    Spring primroses are out and some toadstools here by the van.
    Four Brits in our row tonight.
    We leave tomorrow, so I'm glad that we at least had a familiar walk and saw the place again. Apart from a new playground and some concrete blocks with recent vibrant graffiti, nothing much has changed since our last visit to this campsite at Christmas 2019.
    It has served as a restful place to be for four nights, but I am disappointed not to have been well enough for a swim in one of my favourite pools.
