Sorry I know the water will run out

Well we have made it into France!

After an easy, trouble free run from South Wales to the Tunnel we found that there were delays. When we arrived in France roadworks on the Autoroutes/by-pass delayed us again, but we have arrived in Cambrai for the night.

We have stopped on the Munical site, Les Trois Clochers. A quiet site with good size pitches, all with EHU and water. The services are modern and clean and, for motorhomes, a good service point with drive over grey waste drain. A Buffalo Grill directly opposite the entrance would have been our choice except for concern the CV-19.

The site is on Camper Contact but the co-ordinates are incorrect. They take you down a narrow lane to the rear of the site where there is no entrance and a dead end. The correct co-ordinates are :-

N 50.175322
E 003.214685

I will report this to Camper Contact.

€12.50 per night for two people including all facilities and free Wi-Fi.

Is that Spinalonga, near Crete. We were there last year. I had read the book years ago and had always wanted to visit the Island.

Correct

Corbridge THS is one of our local favourites Barry, our pals are there now in their Elddis Evolution. If it's sunny and you can get a seat outside The Angel, you can spend an interesting couple of hours watching the traffic negotiate that three way junction !

Certainly not for jittery drivers

A Sad Story in Three Pictures
This morning's walk through Hamble Common to the beach.

Low tide and idyllic.

The Peasants have been here, complete with Co-Op carrier bag! This happens most days. I'd love to catch them leaving and shove the pizza box where the sun doesn't shine!

Not a great pic, but at least I am oot & aboot in Northumberland!

Yesterday’s pub.

 

[jockaneezer]

As a nipper, helping out with harvest in the 60's, barley only ever had two rows of grain on the ears, the only time we saw four rows was on wheat which we rarely grew. Picked up this ear that the combine has missed, 6 rows of grain on every stalk, that's a great improvement ? I wonder if it's done with selective breeding or genetic tampering ?

 

[movan]

Possibly. GM.?
