When we went to bed last night we were braced to wake up to rain… we had unusually put away all the random stuff and when we work up it was lovely!

Fraser and I cycled for baguettes and pastry and we sat in the sunshine to eat it… as the morning progressed the temperature dipped a little bit we thought that the festival in the town might be on and so we headed off…

It’s a lovely short (5km ish) cycle into town along a flat off the road cycle path along side a river or canal… I’m not sure which… in fact I’m not sure I know the difference! Anyway… it was wet, and a bit green!!

We arrived to an overcast town, with a few spots of rain in the town…. we had a look around the shops and found a shop with a glut of souvenir ash trays…. random but who brings these home any more! 😂

We walked around the market as it closed and looked in some lovely stylish shops… a guy went and spoke to one of the kids as the only hoodies I remembered to pack (at the last moment!!) were their school ones and this chap had gone to their school!

We headed back to the fete, where we knew we would be able to get a yummy French lunch…. and we weren’t disappointed! From big German sausages, oysters and wine to moules, chips and beer the Adamson’s has the lot…. in the rain!

After lunch we wanted to taste some wine… that definitely sounds more sophisticated than have a few drinks… but Hargroves we let you down! Our terrible French was not enough to blag our selves as much as “that” day… we did but the Christmas Day wine and some other nice bits but standards slipped and there were no near misses on the cycle path!

Back at the van we all chilled out, did some reading and then headed for a swim… almost! There was a pooh in the pool, Fraser didn’t have Speedo’s on and the water was cold… but part from that it was a complete success!

Steak and pork chops on the bbq and lots of bag and ball for the children rounded off a very Adamson day in France!
