The Honeymoon- Me and the wife


Jules and I are now in France. Have been since the 11th of March. We started in Paris and moved on to the Loire Valley for a few days. From there we have travelled to the coast and north a bit and now are in a place called Quimperle. The hotel is quite good but haven't seen the town yet.
So far we have had a wonderful time. The weather has been good. Bright and sunny days, and cool nights, which didn't bother us as we were tucked up in bed!!
The people of France have been very kind considering that neither Jules or I can speak very much french. We have got by and achieved various degrees of communication. It has been fun, even for the French who do have a sense of humour!
The mini is going great guns. Jules has been doing a good job of navigating along roads that don't exist, at least not on the map, and helping to overtake the slower cars and lorries. The mini has however sustained an injury, a cracked windscreen, which we are hoping will last the trip before being replaced, the windscreen that is, not the mini, might just be a bit excessive to replace the car because of a cracked windscreen....
Only a few days left so its off to bed.... yippy
