We had been expecting the rain but it still wasn’t good at 3 am this morning, hammering on the roof, with the occasional clap of thunder. At 7am it wasn’t raining quite so heavily, although the pitch was a bit slimy and muddy. We managed to get away just after 8am, soon on the motorway …

Monday 9 September
Slow start to the day, only 52 miles to go. Paul found he could not get to the camper service area – a narrow access exacerbated by cars parking alongside their caravans – so I just said I would get someone to move their car. I had to disturb a nice Frenchman who was having …
Sunday 8 September
Even quieter news day today. We were woken about 7.30am by La Chass – the hunt – bang bang bang. Lottie didn’t like it one bit, she wanted cuddles and reassurance. Paul held her whilst I got dressed, then she wanted me to hold her, climbing up on my shoulder each time there was a …

Quiet news day today. We cycled into CANET Roussillon this morning, stocked up on a few essentials, bought some fruit and veg from the market, then cycled down a mile or so into Canet Plage. We have fond memories of Canet Plage as we visited here several times when we used to stay in a …
Friday 6 September
Detante was reached last night with the neighbours. I think we finally wore them down with continuous smiling and saying Bonjour every time we passed. The chap in the same bay as us told Paul they lived in Toulouse, were staying in the aire for a MONTH and then going down to Malaga for the …

Wednesday 4 September
Last night at Lottie’s feeding time I realised I hadn’t taken her food out of the freezer. Not to worry, I thought, she can have the M&S dog food I bought just before we left. It was grain free chicken and she loved it. A great success I thought. She wolfed it down. Today, not …
Tuesday 3 September
Another lovely day, activity and weather wise. This morning we cycled to La Flotte to go to the market. I love markets, Paul not so much. But he absolutely loves La Flotte market because it is quite small with some amazing food stalls. Fish, fruit, ready cooked food to take away, stunning desserts, we came …
Monday 2 September
Busy day today. Lottie got me up at 7.10am by squeaking that she wanted to go out. I had to throw on some clothes and take her for a walk as she needed to wee and poo desperately. We set off for Il de Re, stopping at a supermarket on the way. Over the bridge …
