Off to France

Shush...... don't tell anyone, but I am doing this blog from work. It's a relatively quiet time here and ennui is setting in like rheumatism. It's mid week already and my thoughts are on the coming weekend. On Saturday we are up to Trowbridge to lunch out with Dad. Always a pleasant excursion, Wendy and I met and married in Trowbridge. We frequent a lovely restaurant with fine food but it does take up most of the day and nothing else gets done.

Sunday is Intergroup and starts at 2pm. I am picking Midge up on the way so will have to leave home by1pm, which means an early lunch at around 12 noon which, following a late leisurely breakfast means I won't get much done around the house. Another weekend gone and the last one before we start our holiday.

We have both taken Friday 23rd off in order to get down to Dover to catch the ferry to France at 6pm. We have had problems with our new car, a Renault Laguna which, we thought, would pull the caravan nicely. Following our weekend in Dartmouth a couple of weeks ago we realise that the Renault will not be powerful enough to tow a fully laden caravan for two weeks and so we have had to resurrect the Volvo. Le Volvo towed well a couple of years ago when we went to Brittany with Marian and Ian. Main grouch is that it doesn't have air conditioning and hopefully, it will be hot hot hot.... that's what we're going for!
