Dry cool morning and another earlyish start after dumping
the waste water. As is normal at this time of year there is no water switched
on so we’ll have to be careful until we get further south.
Today we've let Colin take the lead so he can take the wrong
turnings, which of course he didn’t! It rained a little occasionally but
generally the roads were quiet and we followed the same route as last year,
reminiscing.
No motorways today, just the usual good fast N10 mixed in with
towns and villages. Stopped off at a boulangerie for baguettes and lunch was
taken at a picnic area along the way.

Our target tonight was Chaunay, a small typically French
town with a free aire set just off the large main square – empty when we
arrived but joined later by another Brit who was heading home from Spain. Free
electric but alas the water was again turned off so no shower tonight. But
Colin has promised us tomorrow night’s stop WILL have water….
The time difference, and being well south, means it doesn't
get dark until around 5.30 and our earlier stop today has left us more relaxed.
Took the opportunity of updating the blog as it’s the first time we've had the
time and a decent internet connection.
First call tomorrow will be to refuel as both drivers have
been eyeing fuel gauges for the last hour and Colin has a low fuel warning up.
Fortunately there is an Auchan just along the road so we’ll do a bit of
shopping as well.
Bren has just noticed the Christmas lights have come on in the square - time for a piccie!
