Perked up here after the torrential rain earlier, very warm in the sun, potential for more rain though.

No idea if same people Tony, the gent said they ordered the beast 2+ year ago, I’m sure he said they picked it up earlier this year, for a big motor at over 5000kgs, Fiat base, and wait for it, 2.3, 180hp nine speed box engine.

His dad was from Leith, Edinburgh.

Possibly not but I can’t imagine many folk have beasts like that on such a small island. Do you know if it replaced a similar van?
Just for interest if it ever comes up in a pub quiz folk who have been born and bred in Guernsey are called “donkeys”. This is not an impolite term. (Jersey folk are called beans!

No idea if they had a previous camper. I’ll remember the donkey and beans, noted for the future!

Parked up on Noirmutier for a couple of days. Wall to wall sunshine today and the same is forecast over the weekend so a bike ride round the oyster beds /salt pans is on the agenda.

Good day for travelling, occasional light rain as we rounded Milan's version of the M25, just as busy with 4 lane slow moving queues. Weather improved slightly as we got to Lake Maggiore but cooler at 20°. The forecast is for sunshine tomorrow, we'll see !!
