15/4/16 St Gervais Happy Birthday to me! Overcast day – started badly as I found a tick on Bertie’s muzzle – got rid of it toot sweet with our handy tick tool! Poor Bertie has to suffer the indignity of being daubed in povidone iodine too… but he’s a good, uncomplaining boy! Nick made me […]
Montelimar to the Montagnes… in search of snow!
12/4/16 St Alexandre – Die Woke up early and processed about 300 pictures for blog…. published another 2 posts – busy busy busy! Our illustrious leader made sausage sarnies for breakfast – with HP sauce of course… yummy. We strolled around the village and took some pictures, then set off for Montelimar, where I hoped […]
Carcassonne, the Gorges du Tarn & St Alexandre
9/4/16 Esperaza – Carcassonne – Lac de la Raviege We woke up and said good morning to the circus animals, had breakfast and a tidy up and set our sights on Carcassonne. Like many, I suppose I’ve been inspired by Kate Mosse’s books and their settings. We found it easily and the parking was expensive […]
Serra d’enGalceran to Vic
4/4/16 Serra d’enGalceran – Rob’s Place Nick and Rob took Blobby to Els Ibarsos this morning, while Alex did some work, and I borrowed the wash-house and did 2 loads of washing (even though the weather is a bit crappy today), read a bit, and prepared ribs for tonight’s supper. Lunch didn’t really happen as […]
Calpe to Valencia and Borriana
28/3/16Calpe…. Monday morning…. MAN WE’RE HUNGOVER! Even Bert really can’t be bothered to get up today! I have blank bits – and Nick is thoroughly enjoying filling them all in for me! Oh dear …. I’m not going to say “Never again” because I know this won’t be the last time I stitch one on! […]
Easter in Calpe
24/3/16 Calpe – calle de Estonia We’re hearing from all our neighbours… and there are a few in motorhomes I must say! that everywhere is chock-a-block full – as if we didn’t already know that. Apparently we had nabbed the LAST space in this calle – how lucky are we – everything happens for a reason, […]
El Marchal to Calpe – via Calabardina (Playa del Arroz) and Veneziola
21/3/16 El Marchal Woke early … 8am, and tried to catch up with a bit of blog writing. Wayne arrived at 10.45 having done the cash and carry – to open the bar – he’s already got a couple of coffee customers waiting for that machine to warm up! The weather is overcast and a […]
