Lots of activity as we drove through - It was a Market!!! We like markets. So raining or not it had to be done. Didn't buy anything on this occasion

Day 2 off the rain - was lashing down yesterday but became clear in the evening. This morning I have woken up to the loudest claps of thunder ( I say I coz them b*****s are all sleeping through it). I must admit I had to come down ground level. I didn't like being up above the cab with it all kicking off. I was too near the roof for my liking. Quite a few geocaches in area so may go and see what we can find and then possibly head further south. This bad we...

It's 9.25 pm at night and pitch black. It's up to you decide if I am mad or cool - Paul thinks mad,kids think cool !!!!! We waded out to a flat ish rock armed with picnic and alcohol and candles We are now sitting here surrounded by water in the darkness !!! Kids say this is the new specification when checking in to a site "excuse me do you have a flat rock in the middle of a river please "

We decided to head for the sun and initially we thought we went going to find it. But have managed to get a couple of hours by the pool, not necessarily sunny but very hot. Boys enjoying pool

Well we are well and truly I the wine region - beaujoulais area. It's grapevines for miles around I really want to learn more about wines now. We reckon there must be lot of rivalry between neighbours here everyone is advertising their own wines at the end of there driveways. And of course I have had to sample a few different ones !!!
