• Back to where we started

    December 10, 2024 in France ⋅ 🌬 7 °C

    We were up at 7am and had, had a good nights sleep. After coffee Ellie showered and when we were ready to go we refilled the water and tipped off all of the dirty stuff and set off just after 9am.
    It was freezing outside with a top temperature of 5°c but a bitingly cold wind making it feel like it’s in the minus numbers.
    Our first stop today was our usual last stop of LeClercs at Lumbres to Wash Wanda. It was an 85 mile drive using the toll roads and we got there just before 11am and it took 30 minutes to wash Wanda and when we finished we were completely numb with cold.
    Our second stop of the day was our final food shop and last minute sweet treats in Lidl, where they didn’t gave everything we wanted but it’s to late now. Then we programmed the sat nav for the final 20 mile push and we got to Gravelines at 1pm.
    Once we had refilled with diesel we drove 2 miles out to the coast and back to the Motorhome stop where we started the trip in France.
    It was unbelievably windy and as we sat there eating our French soup and dipping our French bread, Wanda was rocking side to side. We decided not to go for a walk and spent the rest of the afternoon chilling and keeping warm in front of the fire.
