Annie’s big European adventure

[Full Member]

Oh dear, who's van?

The Yorkshire Wanderer's Moho, Marie.
I think we've found someone who'll attempt a temporary repair to get Annie back to the UK.
It's been very trying because tomorrow is May Day, and that's taken seriously here in France. Today everyone wants an easy, slow day and tomorrow everything will be shut.

Colin ???

Get a repair kit from a garage Colin and if you stand on a biscuit tin you should be able to reach high enough to do a very effective repair job. Probably best let Annie place the biscuit tin and give you a bunk up.

I've taken your advice, Paul.
Everything went really well:



Now.
How do I get down from the biscuit tin?

Good job Colin, ask Annie if she can pop into a toy shop and get an action man parachute, if you repack it correctly it will come in handy whenever you visit the toilet.

We're now safely installed on our wild camp for tonight overlooking a small ferry plying to and fro across the Seine:



........though there are also bigger vessels:





The exhaust fix has now completed about 150km and Annie decided we should celebrate in the traditional Yorkshire manner:



That'll be a chocolate covered biscuit dish, fresh strawberries and chocolate chip ice cream.

I think I’ve nailed these french roundabouts.

That last ship definitely had a dodgy exhaust.
How do they get away with it?

Annie moments after leaving the boulangerie in Honfleur this morning:



Take a peek at the end of the still-hot baguettes!

Colin ???

From the time we lived in France we realised that eating the end off the baguette before you get home is a legal requirement!

Shall I push him

No!
He's one of the kindest, most generous people I know.
I'd miss him a great deal.

Even at my most persuasive I couldn't get Annie to bring her trike down to the beach at Sotteville-sur-Mer:



If it doesn't involve ice cream or baguette.........

Colin ???

Yep. You're very observant, Sue.
I showered this very morning.
I do that once a year - dirty or not.

Thankyou my sentiments exactly. ???
