Longwick (Home)

On our last evening in France, we couldn't resist one last walk out.

The cockerels and chickens, in the rear garden of the nearby supermarket, were all cosy in their house, they made us smile, the cockerels reminding us of the one at Brindisi in Italy, who used to wake us at five thirty in the morning.

Opposite the aire, was a traditional Normandy house. The plants up on the ridge of the roof, looked like they may well have suffered from the recent hot spell.

Tuesday July 9th, has come around, where have the last nine weeks gone? We are asked, 'are we glad, or sad, to be coming home?'. Well there's only one answer to that question. Going through border control at Dieppe ferry terminal, we were asked by a member of staff where we'd been. Replying one of the countries we'd visited had been Italy, she was very keen to know if we'd bought wine or tobacco products there. Questions answered, Marge was then stopped for a quick look over, as were all the campervans, normally they only select a few.

The ferry was a lot quieter than when we came across, After lunch and coffee, we retired to the sun deck for a doze, before arriving back in England, and the final drive of this trip.

Marge is now safely parked up on the drive. How she remained unscathed, after all the near misses with other drivers, walls, barriers and rocks, we don't know! Someone must have been watching over her.

Back home now, we must deal with the list of jobs and problems that were waiting for us.

A few times in the last few weeks, we thought we might have to head home early, but fortunately, all turned out well in the end. In September, we'll be taking Marge to Spain and Portugal, she loves all things continental! We hope you'll join us as well.
