On The Road - Again.

Hi everyone,

Well, we are back on our travels again. We've been back home for four or five weeks and it's been great catching up with friends and family. A bit of home maintenance, a bit of van maintenance and when all that was done we started to get itchy feet again. So here we are in the car park of the Nailbox pub in Folkestone, ten minutes drive from the Chunnel where we'll get the 8.50am ferry tomorrow.

The plan is for a leisurely drive through France and then on into Spain for some winter sun. Paul & Chris, who we went to Morroco with, are currently in France slowly wending their way home so we'll meet up with them for a day or so at some point. It will be great to see them again.

We drove the 280 miles today from Bingley to Folkestone and had good weather most of the way but it is now pouring down with rain and has been for the last couple of hours; doesn't look like it's going to ease up either. So we'll have an early night and drop off to the pitter patter of rain on the roof and hope for better weather on the other side of the channel.

That's it really, just letting you all know that you have something to read now when you have nothing better to do. This will be our fourth trip to Europe in the Motorhome and I have to say that saying goodbye to folks gets harder each time! The first couple of trips we knew when we would be returning so the farewells weren't too bad but this journey is pretty much open ended so it may be a while until we see family and friends again. Still, we have phones, pads and all the apps we need to keep in touch and if you want to post comments as we travel around that would be great too.

Pat.
