How quickly a week passes! We left mark and Sue early yesterday morning (about 7:30) for the trip up to Caen. There was a frost on the car, and it felt very cold (about -2C) but we left the wood burner blazing away! We had lovely clear skies on the fairly leisurely drive up to the coast, arriving in time for a last minute trip ‘au supermarche’ before catching the 5pm ferry.<\/p>\n
The rain started about 2 hours out, and there was a surprising swell in the channel, but we docked at Portsmouth on time and in dry weather for the final leg home. This morning is a round of tidying up and washing – and putting the plants under shelter as there is a frost here – luckily we brought the bourgainvillea and lemon tree into the conservatory before we left.<\/p>\n
So ends a very very relaxing and enjoyable break! I have the rest of the week off and then back to work on Monday!<\/p>\n
