It was late when we arrived at the Aire last night and we weren't sure if it was a suitable stop. But sometimes first impressions are wrong and by this morning we realised everyone was O.K. and friendly. We didn't plan to drive too far today and as we were heading in the direction of Toulouse John wanted to stop off at BRR, a Land Rover restorers. Then we would book onto Camping le Rupe, a campsite alongside that canal that we have stayed at twice before whilst cycling. Marge is draining us mentally and physically. Everyday revolves around her. Is there no end to your woes Marge? As we drove through a patchwork of freshly ploughed fields we spotted two deer sat among the clods of earth 'catching some rays'.
The yellowing canopy of the plane trees screened us from the morning sun. the weather today seemed to be looking good. The man at BRR gave Marge the once over. He seemed confident that her engine may not be damaged, and if it was, it was probably not as bad as we thought yesterday.
We have booked her in with him on Thursday to fit a new thermostat. This evening many people, including ourselves sat outside to eat. Short sleeves and shorts the dress code. Tomorrow's temperature is set to rise to 27 c. We will probably allow Marge a rest day tomorrow and cycle up to Norauto to buy ten litres of coolant ready for her procedure on Thursday. Honestly Marge, you need to cut back on this stuff.
