AU REVOIR FRANCE

Loading up after breakfasting on cornflakes in the car queue.

Made the crossing on the outside deck and did some bird-watching. And I didn't mind because my new jacket is so, so warm. G's hands looked a bit numb!

Then it was the dismal Dover to Skipton drive home. French roads are excellent. I feel sorry for European lorry drivers when they land here and have to face our traffic, queues and road works.

Fantastic holiday. It starts here!
