It’s almost time to depart old Blighty for la Belle France. 4 days to be exact! Woohoo!! Excited!
Update
So our trip to France went really well!
We headed off to a small but perfectly formed campsite called Le Chant D’Oiseau just outside of Saumur. A perfect location from which to explore the Loire Valley.
But! On the way home we stayed 1 night on a ferry pitch just outside Dover and when hitching up in the morning my back went! Ouch!
We’re Off
So It’s Friday, it’s 5:45 & it’s time for Crackerjack!
Well no it’s time for our return to France!
Almost Time
It’s almost time. Time for our return to our beloved France.
There is nothing quite like camping in France, the French just seem to do it better, or is that just the wine and cheese talking?
We have not been to France since 2019, the year Before COVID so we are really looking forward to getting back in 2 weeks time.
Rallying in a Caravan
A rally is a cheap and social way of camping. It’s not for everyone as sometimes facilities are somewhat limited. Very limited! But the rewards can be great.
Guide Books-Guide to Nowhere?
Is anyone else having this problem?
I’ve noticed an increasing number of guide books appearing on our now dedicated shelf.
(not sure if I should be worried by that pink book?)
Plans Are Afoot
We have been to decide where to go on holiday in 2022.
Do we go back to France? The place we love and long to return to. This would be the 3rd year that we miss La Belle France and 4 years since we have been to the Southern coast. Do we stay at home on this side of the channel? For the last 2 years we have been to Kent, to a lovely CS site on a working farm with great views and a full service pitch (which is the way forward for a relaxing holiday) all for £20 a night.
The UK won. When you watch the news and realise that this horrible pandemic can rear it’s head with no notice making it necessary for various countries to impose restrictions on both their own citizens and visitors meaning that it is perfectly possible that you may have to leave the country at very short notice. It kind of makes sense to stay in the UK.
We did and saw a lot in Kent and we did like it a lot but I felt I wanted a change, but where? That started the eh-hem “Debate”
Caravanning Is Dangerous!
That’s right! Caravanning has caused me an injury.
While caravanning this weekend I had an accident which has left me with some cracked or very bruised ribs!

We arrived here almost by accident. We were due to attend a C&CC rally at Betley Village Hall but when we arrived we found a quite overcrowded car park and a field that we didn’t like the look of, so we left and hit the apps Mrs. CA on one club’s app and me on the other.
COVID-19 Hits Home
Almost 12 months into the global pandemic and being super careful Covid has hit home.
Halys made it all the way to February half term, started to feel a little rough on Friday which is actually Not unusual amongst school staff. I’ve noticed that as they reach the last day of term they seem to relax and start to feel rough for a few days, but they soon pick up as they get their first couple of lie-in’s. However on Tuesday morning Halys was feeling worse and so did one of the NHS Lateral Flow Tests that she had been supplied with by school. It came back Positive! Continue reading “COVID-19 Hits Home”
