So Monday ended up being a bit of a nothing day…
We got up, had a cup of tea ☕️ but no brekky (still stuffed from everything we’d hoovered up the night before) said bye 👋 to Chas & Dave & set off early (just after 9:30am which is early for US !!!)
Dave wanted an Orange French 🇫🇷 sim for the mobile WiFi and he also (as we knew we were going to encounter some rain ☔️) wanted a waterproof of some kind…
So we stopped at a couple of retail parks on the way & he managed to get both 🥳 (see pic of Dave below in new blue waterproof)
The Orange shop was actually inside a hypermarket so we had a wander & picked up a few supplies including PINK toilet rolls !!! (I just couldn’t resist 😂)
I’d earmarked a campsite ⛺️ that had great reviews but forgot to ring to check availability & sadly when we just turned up, there was no room at the inn 😞 – again !!! (You’d think I’d have learned by now… 😐)
Anyway I rang another site about 15 minutes away (Camping Au Bord De L’Aisne) & she said they had room so we turned up there -but – including electricity (which we don’t actually need but we tend to opt for anyway) – the lady on reception charged me €34-something which ended up as £30.79 on my Tesco card… !!!
The Dirty, Robbing, etc. 😂
And we were only there from 5pm Monday until 9:30am Tuesday 😐
There WAS an indoor swimming pool 🏊 & a restaurant 🥘 but we couldn’t be bothered that evening …
And it was FULL of English people…
It had been a really grey, dull, flat-landscape’d journey travelling through ghost-town after ghost-town and we hadn’t eaten anything apart from a fruit salad on one of our shopping-stops.
So we had dinner and THEN (the best part of the day) I watched the LAST two episodes of Handmaid’s Tale…
But I was a bit gutted that Nick had been blown up, Luke, June’s hubby, went off to lead The Resistance somewhere (with a vague we’ll-see-each-other-on-the-other-side) and June STILL wasn’t reunited with her daughter, Hannah…
However, TUESDAY was FABULOUS so please read on… 🙏
