We woke to pissing rain. Once again, we are the Rain Gods, services as ever offered to desert nations for copious wads of cash. After a lazy start, we decided to move to the free car park near the sports hall. No point in paying for a lovely outdoors if we weren’t going to sit…

We made a fairly early start from Roverdo. We left mainly to avoid the faff of paying for part of an hour but it helped that the weather in Switzerland wasn’t great and were keen to get into Italy. Of course, you’d have to have a very keen occhio to tell Italian speaking Switzerland from…

Now that we have Jones on our extended driveway, the run up to a trip abroad should be much smoother. This time, not so much. To start with, the EU, spotting that we had a trip planned, decided at the last minute that Flynn’s almost unused new Belgian pet passport was not to be accepted…

We drove over to the motorhome parking at Abingdon, and mooched into town for brunch. Tummies full, we took Flynn for a decent walk up the River Thames. With more planning, there would be a decent walk into Oxford, and a train back. Another time… Our evening stop was the most excellent campsite at Jay…
