Milk bottle tops and paper bags...

28th-30th Sanchey, France

...is this what we
...really want to see?
NO NO NO

What miserable weather? What is it like there?

Its taken two days to dry our clothes! We have done a bit of shopping and had lunch in the equivalent of Macdonalds. Not good. On the up I had the best day on 29th...we did 10 mile bike ride along a really long bike path (no roads this time) and I loved it. Pouring with rain, next to a canal ..pete wearing a pink poncho (sorry too wet for camera), amazing calves by the way. We happened to stop at a Boulangerie where Pete immersed with an array of cakage. When the rain was too heavy we stopped under a tree, kids asleep in trailer and together we ate the BEST cake I have ever had - apple pie, with a custard filling, topped with almonds and pistachios. Wowsa. Get cooking ladies, I would like to see you beat that one.

Oh and a very funny story...
Pete wanted to wash his van, so we stopped at a garage.
Six Euros would be enough money...but six euros didnt quite make it. As I saw him put more money in...I heard numerous loud bangs spontaneously hitting the van...after which I saw Pete sprinting and diving around the van and suffice to say we have our second dint, slightly larger. The jet hose went off automatically and was flying all over the carwash. Very impressive dive though...as he got back into the car, I could see Pete was really disappointed in himself. He coughed and we carried on driving.

We are now in the car to Switzerland. Hoping the weather will be better.
Au revoir!
Love to all x

  3. the weather has been alright here - saturday was a bit miserable but still really muggy. Sounds like you guys are having such a fun time....I'm mentally planning our next holiday as we speak because I need something to look forward to! Hope the van is ok, a dent is nothing - my car wouldn't work at all yesterday (right at the manic 'get everyone to church' time)
    Seth would like more pictures of Wilson please x
