We've arrived! After a very long drive we're finally on holiday!

Well we arrived!
We set off in beautiful conditions but as we go to the English border the weather had a major turn for the worst!
Freezing cold (well 9 degrees in June feels it) absolutely pouring rain and the last 10 miles to the ferry were miserable.

We got on board, drugged the dogs up to the eyeballs with sedative because Megan gets so upset and retired to the cabin after some food and several gins as a nightcap.

After a brilliant nights sleep 'call the hands' was someone plinking out some Breton music on a harp at 06:00 at least an hour before what is commonly thought to be acceptable.

Off for breakfast to find the weather on the French side of the channel was as bad if not worse than at home!

A long long drive south in mostly appalling conditions found us arriving at the campsite at about 16:30 in rain!

We set the caravan up and rigged the awning after some 'interesting exchanges of views'!  Which wasn't actually too bad considering the weather and the fact that this awning is completely new to us.

Due to the appalling weather we both looked like we were heading back from the front line after the battle of the Somme before we took the dogs for a quick walk to stretch their legs.

We found on the way back that the the little restaurant at the entry of the campsite was; A, open, and B, would let us all in considering our wet and bedraggled state.

We discovered the local drink was Pineau made by adding fruit juice to cognac to make a fruity aperitif that went down nicely before dinner.
After a nice meal and several drinks it was definitely time for bed!
