THIS week I bought

Swapped out the original tyres yesterday for some Continental Vanco Camper All Seasons, including a spare for the garage. The plastic has had a good workout. I've just gone for a tyre to save weight. It replaces the unused steel spare (225/75 R16)that I bought just 2 years ago and has sat in the motorhome garage ever since complete with its sticky specification label. If anyone wants a spare rather than the "goo machine" that most motorhomes have in lieu of a proper wheel, make me an offer I can't refuse.

I was told by a lady outside that there is a new farm shop opening in another village towards Dover that will be less er.... pricey. She couldn't remember where!

We used to go there every couple of months on the bikes for Sunday breakfast. They stopped that and moved "up market". Replacing full English (all local produce) with avocado on toast etc...

The Bakewell was £2.99. It was lovely. Half for me and half for Mrs Moto! Go it's worth the drive/ride there....

We drove down several narrow country lanes in our 7.2m motorhome just for the photo opportunity of finding that sign. When we got to the junction, someone had stolen the sign!

A Crit'air sticker, Angles Morts Stickers, hi-viz vest, France / Spain road atlas. I'm not catching the Newhaven to Dieppe ferry until October but I have a long checklist and I like to tick things off early.
