Arrived at our storage 0630hrs. First hiccup, fob would not open the gate. Managed to get hold of the owner who came straight up. Finall got in and collected Eevie. Left at 0750hrs, we had booked the 0825 sailing from Dover. Luckily we went straight through the port and checked in at 0810. Just made the ferry last on. Had breakfast, then met up with some friends who were on the same crossing. From Calais we drove to Adinkerke for tobacco.
Then we headed cross country, avoiding the Autoroute to Montreuil-sur-Mer. Arrived at Fontaine Les Clercs 1410hrs. The owner popped his head out of the top right window, told us to pitch up and we'd sort it later.
This we duly did, taking the first pitch on the left, which we had used before.
As can be seen the site is terraced, at the top is a foot tunnel through the town ramparts, we took that route into town. Strolled around but didn't buy anything, not even a beer. It was very quiet, cold and damp. Back to Eevle, dinner and some drink before bed.
December 8th.
Awoke to a miserable cold wet day. After our morning cuppa and toast, drove into Le Touquet for our bits. Arrived, to find parking was free, so a nice bonus. Unloaded our shopping trolley and brollies then walked into the centre. Found the crockery shop we were looking for, but alas they no longer stocked the brand we wanted. (We have some but family wanted the same.) Nothing even similar so that was a failure. Then to a little shop which does wonderful fish pate, which we really enjoy.
As you can see, a huge selection. We bought what we wanted then strolled the other shops in the centre. Bought a few bits for Christmas, then to a Restaurant for Moules Marinere,
Excellent in here can highly recommend. Then off we trudged back to Eevie, and the site. Relaxing and warming up before head down.
December 9th.
Woke to a crisp morning with ice outside. Left 1015hrs and headed for Cite Europe. Did our usual shop, nice bits we can't get at home, bite to eat then ferry. Arrived Dover 1540hrs and Hawkinge 1610. The trip had been successful for our needs, but not for family. C'est la vie.
