This will be the final post for this trip – we thought we
had better sign off by saying we had got home safely!
As soon as we left Aubazine on Monday we were back under the
low cloud and it rained on and off all the way to Cheverny, just south of
Blois. We stopped overnight at a France
Passion site at Cours Cheverny, and parked up in the vineyard. Lovely, apart from the drizzle. The family gave us a good wine tasting, (I
must learn to empty my glass after tasting, not drink it all, it starts to
taste better and better) and as we were on the way home we bought a few
bottles. They obviously have a lot of visitors
as the tasting cellar was very attractively set out, with chandeliers made from
empty wine bottles.
So the last couple of days were mostly on the road, with no
dramas, thank goodness. Our last night
was spent at Guines, just outside Calais.
It is a lovely site, but at the end of June it becomes a bit of a
transit camp, full of people like us just staying for one night before crossing
the channel, just before the high season prices and the French holidays start.
We had a wonderful trip and saw some amazing sights. We feel so privileged and blessed to be able
to take the time and travel around in our (motor)home from home. Especially so this year, as while we were
away our dear friend Flo became very
poorly and, in fact, passed away earlier this week. We are very grateful to everyone who let us
know what was happening at home so that we were able to share the situation in
a small way. Flo was a wonderful lady
with an enormous heart for other people, she will be very much missed by all
who knew her.
So that’s it, we hope you have enjoyed reading about our
adventures, and here’s to the next time!
