It's always with a tinge of sadness that we leave the little campsite at Monbert. It really is a special place to rest and relax amongst nature. Passing a field of cows as we left, we have to say, of all the cows we've ever seen, we've never seen one with pink horns.
Oh well, anything goes these days. We can't believe how quickly our last week is passing by. The time to return to England will soon be upon us, so we must be sure to enjoy these last few days. Originally we planned to return back to England yesterday, but the ferry cost was a fair bit more than we are paying on Monday, probably because it is the start of the school summer holidays. We don't mind, four more days in France, what's there to complain about. The Loire is a particular favourite area of ours, so we headed to a free park up where we intended to spend the night.
Angela immediately remembered it. As lovely as the town was, it was noisy overnight.
So after a pleasant lunch sat under the plane trees we moved on to a little to a camping area right by the river with views across the bridge to Ingrandes-le-Fresne-sur-Loire a pretty little riverside town, which we walked over to for an ice cream.
Because of the ongoing hot weather the river is devoid of most of its water. In the past we've actually seen sections of the river Loire that have been so dry you could walk right across from one side to the other.
This evening, with a storm threatening, we sat and took in the view. This area holds special memories for us from our cycling days. When travelling was slower and simpler. Life before all our various Marges came into our life, not that we regret owning any of them, they've taken us on some fantastic adventures!
