France - Part 1

I'm here.....Just been busy doing all the domestic stuff, downloading our three cameras worth of photos and looking for a car.


We blend in quite well don't you think? Of course it wasn't long before the parking attendants in this Portsmouth waterfront car park were sniffing around and ordering us to park in assigned bays only. They were decent enough to class the Trike and trailer as a bike and therefore exempt from parking fees though!


The Gadget summer palace. Gadgeteen lives in his own 'summer house' now, which is the grey one on the other side.


The Gadgetkids share an interest. The clumps of seaweed are evidence of how rough the sea has been at times during our stay.


Sunset at Cap Frehel with a view of 'our 'beach' below.


We get to know the french crowd, who all have a ride around the site on the Trike...and we get lots of home-made wine and invites for 'Aperitifs' in return. No-one speaks English so I have fun with my French.


Our new German friend Julia, encouraging Gadgetman and our Dutch friend to sing. She had said earlier that afternoon, "I am coming to your tent tonight with my guitar. You will sing." We did. I think this is 'Country Roads'....or it might have been 'Leaving on a jet plane'.


Preparing our hand-picked 'Moules' for dinner one evening.
