Just a quick thank you to everyone who braved the weather to come to the BBQ on Sunday! It was really great to see you all and make it such a special “Farewell”. I don’t know about you but I thought the boys did a fantastic job with the BBQ and enabled us to have a chat. Hope you all had enough to eat and drink, the beer in the barrels seemed very popular! Thank you so much for the gifts, we are enjoying the wine and the huge bag of sweets from Sandi & Ian was, according to the girls, a touch of genius! We must also say a big thank you to Mac for the loan of the Gazebo and all his help, it really was a life saver with the weather and great entertainment putting it up! All you need is a bottle of 57% single malt and it’s a piece of cake!! Whilst we’re saying thank you, we have to thank Peter and Rachel for the loan of their drive as well as Neil and Frankie for letting us store the van at theirs. It made life so much easier.
Well the day has finally arrived; Matt and I collected the van and filled her up with diesel, before taking her home to load the final bits and pieces. With all the storage space I didn’t think we would fill her but we have! The weather was kind for a change, must be the end of the school holidays! After spending the morning packing we took the first of our tour photos, said our farewells and began our adventure! All the way to darkest Kent! Found the campsite just past a pretty village and via some very narrow lanes! Arrived, chose our pitch, parked, turned the engine off and got the chairs out. Sitting in the sun with a beer within 5mins! This is the way to do it! With practice I think we can get this down to 3! Spent the afternoon planning our route to the Paris campsite, Lynn has promised me no “Arc de Tri”! Opened our prezzies, the photos are a brilliant idea and the books perfectly chosen! No wifi here so can’t update the blog or use skype, will try from Paris.
