Lovely start in Charleville-Mezier so decided to chill for a couple of hours before tucking some more northern miles under our belts. Been sunny intervals all day with a high of 22°. Now at Orlieux for the night. Decided on a slight detour to Lille in the morning. We need two replacement inner frames and screens for Dometic mini heki rooflights. Can't find them cheaper than around £120 from UK dealers, the accessory shop in Lille has them for €64 ........... crazy!!
Few pics from C-M yesterday...

We did get a little misty drizzle.

Possibly a good old fashioned thunderstorm, later?

Dined at a nearby restaurant. Grandma's. Kitchen.

Stunning pastas wonderful puddings.

Richie Sunak joined us, hot off the plane.

Enjoyed his starter and the wine . Then scarpered, before the main course arrived.

We only used it as a lay over, you can't overnight according to the signs, but I don't know how closely its checked. You don't get any views from the car parks, two have height barriers but the third is dedicated to motorhomes and coaches. Its a short walk to the cliffs and viewpoints ....

 

[Val54]

Lovely start down in at The Drum, full sun and 12° before we trundle back up the motorways..

10th of June and it's more like February/March it wasn't any better in France it rained almost every day and often all day, rained all day yesterday here, Saturday was warmish, it is looking better today so far, so hopefully we can get some more washing done and out.

 

[runnach]

Heavy rain earlier, which has eased, pretty windy, though. I guess this is training for returning home
