Day 1 - And then we were on our way....


It’s been a pretty hectic time in our house just lately as my daughter and her boyfriend have been staying with us before their 6-month tour of Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Kuala Lumpur, Indonesia, Australia and New Zealand.  http://alisttoolong.com  We said a tearful farewell to them yesterday and then finally managed to think of our own holiday – good job too as we left at 3.45am this morning!   We are getting pretty good at packing up now.

The journey to Eurotunnel was uneventful, quite a lot of traffic on the road considering the time and we were through the tunnel and saying "Bonjour" quicker than a Friday night on the M25 – but then most things are.

We were heading towards Troyes where we stayed in May.  There’s not a lot to say about the A26, it’s long and straight.  However, there really did seem to be some very odd ‘niffs in the air today and we seemed to experience - along with the usual cow dung - malt, onions, thyme and strangely enough a very strong smell of cheese & onion crisps!

“So?” I hear you say... “what’s the weather like?”  well you know the Hawkins-Worley holiday/France history of #cold/windy/rainshowers so here we are Day1 sitting in the van watching DVDs....   mmmm.... moving on tomorrow pdq!
