So a very wet, and as good as dark by 2pm, winter drive East to Newhaven. Fairly mild but we had a few bursts of the heating on.
John read that if we arrived before five, then we could stay in aBaca selengkapnya

... yes ... 'a problem'.
It was a fairly noisy night, as you'd expect in a port and staying right next to the railway line but that was OK.
The problem became clear this morning as John noticed theBaca selengkapnya

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 vanBaca selengkapnya

There are quite a few upside down place-name signs in these parts. We've read that farmers are peed off with all the impossible directives the government are imposing. They use the phrase everything'sBaca selengkapnya

Started the day with John on a lengthy phone session with Lloyd's AGAIN, still unresolved issues every time he tries to make an online or card payment. Fingers crossed.

C-c-cold kept me awake last night.
Searching for anywhere within 3 hrs drive south and overnight temperature of above minus 2° didn't prove fruitful this morning. Eventually, we came here to a smallBaca selengkapnya

Trucking on down south day today. Mainly alongside the Rhone.
Warmer under the covers with loads of extra nightwear on for me. Frosty, foggy, then some sun in the afternoon.
Very busy and industrialBaca selengkapnya

We drove past Avignon in spring 2022 and said at the time that we'd like to stop and look around some time, and here we are. We were actually warm this afternoon. It was 14° at one point. Took aBaca selengkapnya
PelancongEnjoy the trip 🙂 I shall be enjoying keeping up with you on here!
PelancongThank you ... we're enjoying the freedom already!
PelancongLook forward to international comparisons of Aldi's
