Setting off

I have enlisted Tim’ s help again as I cannot access the blog easily from my phone. Technical issues are still causing some concern.

Leaving Glorious Pompey

After a grey trip across the Channel, we arrived in Ouistreham and had an exciting time looking for the Aire. Having located it we had to enter via the exit and were unable to pay as the machine was faulty. First night- free!

Next stop was Pont Rean near Rennes. Lovely Aire alongside a river. Locals busy practising their canoing skills which was entertaining. Evening spent looking at maps and guides for the La Rochelle area. Have decided on a trip to the Ile de RĂ©.

Guernsey, Channel Islands

Written by Tim to start us off!!

Prior to abandoning the country entirely, we flew with Flybe to Guernsey to visit the oldest and best of Chris’ children and his nursey wife.

Havelet Bay, St Peter Port, Guernsey

As per bloody usual, we brought the rain with us. Managed a couple of sunny days, but otherwise around 50% of the time we have been here, it’s been hacking it down. Such is life on a small rock in the middle of the sea near (shudder) Normandie.

Whilst in Guernsey we visited the Occupation Museum. It was really interesting to see exhibits .com
