Saturday night/Sunday

A rather wild night at Wissant, the wind and rain wasn't confined to just Britain! We were on our way south at 8.30am and had the roads pretty much to ourselves. Although we were into a head wind the clouds gave way to warm sunshine which made the trip on the toll free roads very pleasant. One of our coffee stops was next to a field of French French beans, Rachel couldn't restrain herself, you can guess what's for supper tonight! 200 miles further on we stopped at our next aire in a small village near Dreux. I made friends with 2 French kids on roller blades, they couldn't speak any (dog) English but I soon had them trained how to throw a ball :-) Bri reports good and bad news. The good- free leccy, plus all the services, he washed all the cow cake off the motokennel so it looks like somebody owns it now. The bad - a rivet (no not Bri) has come out so the front offside wheel arch is a bit 'flappy' plus another placky bit in the wheel arch has come loose :-/ First stop tomoz, the local Rapido dealer (17 miles south of here, that'll do Grommit). Amy phoned this eve to say there's a severe weather warning for Northern France, it's lashing it down at the mo' but by tomoz eve we'll be another 200 miles further south :-)
