The steed!

We think we have committed to buying the van now.  A bit over or budget but a nice van.  Once the deal is finalised pictures will follow. An exciting day!

France a success

A lovely time had by all on the recce trip. All was well and as you can see, the kids loved it!

Roll on the big trip. Next stop, buy the van!!!!!

Mucking about in Val de Saane

We are here. Loving the French roads and French driving.  Loving the French wine and cheese.  Loving being a rubbish English person speaking basic french with embellished flamboyant gestures.  Happy days!

Getting to Maidstone

If the rest of our European adventures end up being like getting to Maidstone, then it will be one rough year for us.  An absolute shocker of a journey. Anyway, a good night's sleep ready for an exciting day tomorrow. Kids have already said thankyou for taking them to France loads tonight and we are not even there yet.  So it's good that they are excited too.

Ready for the recce

The van had been cleaned and buffed. It's primed and ready to go on Saturday for our recce adventure with friends jo, Paul and kids. Lots of excitement here.  Lots to learn when we arrive etc. Also we have seen a van that we like.  It's a touch over our budget but I suppose that if we go for it we should make a larger sum back on resale.  Anyway, more on that later when we have thought about it.  In the meantime. ..Maidstone tomorrow night then the tunnel at Saturday lunchtime.  Yippee
