We’re heading home. In a change to our usual procedure, which is to stay just outside Calais and walk into town for dinner, we changed our tunnel crossing for the first “free” one tonight, about 9pm, and Rog found us a great restaurant for lunch. It was Au Koning Van Peene, in Zuytpeene – contrary…

Moar driving. We’re now in calais via some towns and a Grand Frais where they had these lads: Pigs in Costumes. Sadly they’re all dressed as Pilsbury dough man, not a pirate king or fairy princess amongst them. Flynn finally got a good/ok walk in calais. there’s a path along the disused dock. He loves…

We left our car park in Miranda de Ebro early. It had rained heavily overnight and the “hard” standing had been transformed into a sea of mud. Once again the interior of Jones was coated within seconds of Flynn returning from his wee walk – camping in the rain with a large mudophile dog really…
