[pmb_print_buttons] Having set off on what may well become a seven week tour of the UK, without a single booking was a little daunting! So while driving up the motorway, we called one of our favourite sites near Penrith. They…
1. FIRST TIME IN GREECE? MAYBE, MAYBE NOT!
[pmb_print_buttons] Well, well! Normal pre-holiday disasters have struck again! But they aren’t usually reported on national news and in the Times newspaper! But this is the exception! We took a taxi to Bristol airport (to avoid having three weeks parking…
0. GREEK ISLANDS
In a couple of weeks we are heading to Skopelos, Alonnisos and Skiathos, but not necessarily in that order! I have been trying to improve the notification that is sent out when a new account is posted. Hopefully, the new…
12. BRITTANY – EN FIN!
Well, well, as Hans might say! Almost time for our last destination. Sarzeau in Brittany. But before we leave, we really should visit our home town! We’ve been here a week and not explored St Aignan. It’s a very pretty,…
11. THE CHER
The trip northwards from the Lot valley was fairly uneventful. Long, but uneventful. No “Routes Barrées”. No low bridges. Just six hours driving. There was one brief “moment” when a passing driver was waving frantically at us and pointing to…
10. NEARLY TIME TO HEAD NORTH.
Our time in the deep South is coming to an end. But not quite! We had poor memories of Fumel. Poor in two ways. First, that the town was unimpressive from a visitor’s perspective. And second, our memories are less…
9. A LOT MORE!
The Duck Farm is open again. Yee Haa! They hadn’t closed, they were just taking a week’s holiday! Sunday lunch, here we come! We took Angelique and Ingrid with us. They are too busy with their lovely new house to…
8. WE LIKE THE LOT A LOT.
We might even get there now! OK, first we engage the sat nav. The BMW system is rubbish. Very unreliable. She’s even programmed to say “I’m sorry, I must try harder!” when we start shouting at her and telling her…
7. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE GERS.
Towards the end of our stay at La Brouquère, we had to move to the other end of our terrace. Someone else is coming. They have booked “our” pitch. So we move from plot 13 to 15 and get a…
6. RESTAURANT TROUBLE.
We booked Sunday lunch at La Faléne Bleue, (the Blue Moth)… … a very posh restaurant at Lannepax about 10 kms south of camp. I still find telephone calls in French a bit tricky – especially when there’s an answerphone…
