After two late nights on the trot we were glad to be spending another night at Angela's favorite French campsite, Camping Relais des Garennes, at Monbert, near Nantes. It's her little piece of paradise. Although the temperature is at least ten centigrade cooler than of late it still feels warm, so we walked out to the small town this morning, purely to get some steps in.
Since our last visit here three years ago there have been some changes, mostly the building of new homes. Our only criticism of the small town is we wish it had a small supermarket, but with an Aldi now an eight minute drive away we can see why it doesn't. We are now on our home run. Marge has been tidied in preparation for all the goodies we want to buy to take home, and Angela has given her hair yet another trim, a little more severe this time. She's been trimming it since we left home, and thinks she's become quite good at it, as from the front it looks alright, from the back, well she'll save that shock for when she returns home. So this evening, still warm but with a fresh breeze we enjoyed our last evening at this wonderful campsite which we are so glad we discovered all those years ago whilst cycling in the area.
When we return, which hopefully won't be in another three years, we will feel like we've returned to our French home. Tomorrow Marge, a short drive to the river Loire. Well we couldn't not spend a night alongside it before we left France. The area holds special memories for us , memories that inspire us to follow the path ahead and discover more exciting things that we can share with you along the way.
