Chanceaux

Well me muckers, how bin thee all? Were off to France, notably the right hand bit of the Rhone Alps and then south and left a bit into Provence. That's the plan, but who knows whether it will happen, weather and time permitting I'm guessing.

Well we get off well and down to the M25 when the heavens opened big time and we am driving along a river basically, well scary! Eventually we gain dry ground and get to the tunnel in good time and cross OK.

We drive along on the 'wrong' side of the road for an hour or two and he finds us a stop for the night in a town along the way. We then are aware of the death of our good Queen Liz which is so unexpected and very sad, so we drink to her reign and then apart from a bit of rain we all have a good night's kip.

Friday we are in transit again along the highways of France avoiding the extortionate toll motorways (cuz he's a bit of a skinflint) , which makes for slow progress but the villages and towns are interesting en route. Then after going through the umpteenth village at a steady 50 killys per hour, he is a bit too late on me brakes entering one, and I get flashed by a camera! Well to say he ain't happy is an understatement! Teks him a few killys to calm down. Quite noticeable are the sunflower and sweetcorn crops in the fields have all been ruined by the scorching weather and fields are burnt to a crisp. We are overnghting again on a motorhome aire in a small village which is very peaceful. Tomorrow thank gawd we aim to complete the journey to Annecy by the lake to a campsite for a stop of three nights to recuperate from our travels. I'm gonna need it too cuz it's a knackering journey.Read more
