And we’re back
We woke early in the morning and started to gather our things ready for the journey back to the UK. We loaded our belongings into the van and then went up to the kitchen in the barn for a cup of tea and to say goodbye to Paul. We had a quick chat and then […]
La Route
This is the route we travelled. It is not exact as the roads obviously meander and we got lost a couple of times and went to places for day trips etc. I might try to make a map of all my phone photo locations and plot that as it would be more accurate.
The last day
When we woke up it was really rainy. We had decided to go to Le Mont St. Michel and Paul had recommended a good parking spot from where we could walk along the river. The weather was looking rough for a couple of hours however so we decided to flip the day and do our […]
A walking club
We woke up and ventured upstairs. Sue(Boss) and Paul were doing their regular 1km swimming in their pool whereas Sue (wife) and I lolled about having a cup of tea and a bit of toast. This mornings activity was to go for a walk in the local woods of Le Tronchet with the walking group […]
Off to Sue´s
We woke up, after making 2 cups of tea from the last tea bag, decided to go for a walk along the river Mayenne which was right next to the campsite. It was very pleasant and we wandered along for about 30 minutes and then strolled back to the campsite. We were going up to […]
To the Château
We packed up the van and drove up the hill to the castle. There was a great view down across the river. Inside, it was divided into several exhibition areas. The castle itself had at one point being used as a prison and eventually converted into a museum. First we looked at the rooms on […]
Wow…. a mushroom museum
We had hoped to visit the castle in Saumur. Once we realised it was shut on a Monday we did a bit of research about what else to do. To our surprise, we saw that there was a mushroom museum nearby. That sounded like a must-see for us! 🤣 It was combined with two other […]
On the road again!
After the walk the night before we slept through till 9 o’clock. We packed the van and had a bit of breakfast and a final chat with Fran and Dave then headed off to our next destination. We had had a lovely few days there and they were fantastic hosts showing us so many lovely […]
Village Meat Fest
Dave and I did a bit of planning in the morning to decide where our next campsite stop would be then helped with a bit of weeding. We had a coffee and croissant for breakfast. I popped on a final load of laundry, which would see us through to the end of our trip. The […]
Downton Abbey…. Le film
We had a fairly quiet morning in the campsite with Dave and I helping Dave S with some weeding while Fran finished moving into the summer kitchen. I also did a little bit of embroidery. Weather was fairly overcast but improved as the day went on. Once it was clearer we headed off for a […]
