Made significant progress towards the south today through some stunning landscapes. The first hour through flat farmlands with huge uninterrupted fields of wheat, rape seed and other staple crops. The terrain definitely seems to be changing now though. Slightly more hilly with views as far as the eye can see. This country just keeps getting better every corner we round there’s more jaw dropping scenery. The urge to keep stopping to take it all in is great but we must press on slowly to get to our next overnight stop. After a quick interlude at an aire where we could empty our grey tank, toilet and rubbish we continued on another forty minutes and arrived mid afternoon to a lovely park up with a view across woods and fields. There was by the end of the day no more space as it’s pretty popular but that was fine as we were at the end with the best spot. 😆 We were lucky to arrive when we did. We got the awning, chairs and table out and spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying the view and catching up with this diary. 📔
Tomorrow we should get a lovely sunrise as our back doors are facing East with a vista of lush woodlands and pasture between us and the horizon.
Tonight we ventured into the village that’s here to see the sights, the tranquility, the stone buildings and the summer atmosphere with sweet fragrances and swooping swallows catching the evening insects. It’s just so… it’s just so, well it’s so very French ain’t it 🇫🇷 😂
Tomorrow we’ll go again to buy some fresh bread and to see what else the village has to offer.Read more
