Left home, picked up Eevie, then to Canterbury Park & Ride to overnight before ferry in the morning. Had a pizza and chips in the pub before settling down.
April 24th.
Up and away 1930 hrs, straight to Dover for 0825hrs ferry. All went to plan and on time. Straight to Adinkirke for my tobacco. Then an easy quiet drive to Neufchâtel-en-Bray, arrived "Camping St Clair" 1500hrs. Booked one night, and set up.
Lovely warm sunshine so relaxed outside.
Had visits from friendly ducks. Then to bed.
April 24th.
Up and away 1000hrs, heading for Chartres. Easy drive in still pleasant weather. Arrived "Camping Bord de l'Eure 1300 hrs. Booked for 1 night. Took a walk into town via the river.
Found a lovely craft shop. Hazel got some of her favourite UHU glue, which we can't find in UK.
She uses a lot in her miniature creations for Teeny Weeny World. Weather was still warm, and we were a bit overdressed, so a cool down was in order.
Both like a cool Grimbergen.
It's always so much nicer when sitting outside. Then it was time to head back to Eevie. Least it was downhill back to the river. When we got to the river I spotted what at first, I thought was a rat.
Then realised it was a Coypu, there were quite a few of them. Had some lovely ribs for dinner.
April 25th.
Woke to grey and drizzly weather. Heading south, no planned stop as such. We wanted to be on the Dordogne for tomorrow. Rain and drizzle never let up, found a site, "Camping Le Futuriste" checked in 1500hrs. It overlooked Futurascope, but being up in the clouds, we saw nothing due to the mist. Looked a nice site but the bar and cafe were not yet open. Lots of Dutch overnighting too. Tomorrow we would head for Bergerac.
