A couple of nights here after a long drive from Guignicourt, in pretty rubbish driving conditions.

We will get through Lyon tomorrow so that will feel like we are on a proper holiday.  There is not a lot to do here, but it is a great relaxing place to do not a lot.

Lots of ducks here

Arrived in Guignicourt for a couple of days:

Weather forecast terrible, but rain was less than predicted. Went to get train to Laon, but ticket prices silly and trains very infrequent, so we’ll find another way to visit Loan.

Not too bad a view to wake up to

Chaos at Eurotunnel, Folkestone due to a broken train. Spent over four hours there, blocked in on all sides at some points. Now at Guînes, planning to head south tomorrow, with a full tank of diesel, hoping to get somewhere without rain by Monday.

Here we are in Folkestone, after a night in Moreton-in-Marsh and a couple of nights in Birmingham:

Who knows why the Sat-Nav took that way around Oxford but it did.  Torrential rain all day, still pouring down, and the TV bracket has jammed meaning we can only watch TV in bed until it gets fixed.  Late afternoon crossing tomorrow so off to find a socket set to see if we can free the dodgy joint.
