Hello from our last stop in France, at St. Vincent de Tyrosse. Since leaving Canterbury, we have had free sleepovers the whole way to the Spanish border.
Today has been quite ordinary. The black rain cloud continued to hang over France.Sue continued to sound like Victor Meldrew with rants of “ I don’t believe it” whenever she thought about our defrauded cash and the colours of Spring continued to show their glory.
Fluorescent greens from willows and hawthorn, vivid yellow from cowslips and primroses along the roadside, daffodils and forsythia in village gardens and vast fields of rapeseed.
In fact it was all made the more beautiful when the sun finally broke through this afternoon. At last it was off with the shoes, socks and woolly hats and on with the sandals and T shirts!! Still a tad too chilly for shorts.
The Bordeaux peripherique was manic as everyone left work early for the Easter weekend. Four lanes of traffic gridlocked in both directions and every slip road backed up. Caution called for.
A happier navigator during a coffee break and leg stretch after the congestion. See the sky?
