15, 2019, last blog, Winding down at the end of a long busy great summer.

Well its been a great summer,  and now we head on our last journey from Beziers to Agdee, where  Kiwi Rose will stay for the winter.
Went for a cycle ride along the Canal du Midi to Colombier where we stayed back in 2007. This was after finishing our hire boat holiday on the Midi with Colleen & Terry and Bob & Heather which started the ideal of this whole boating life for us.
Even managed to find the same gite that we stayed in during the Rugby 
World Cup. (picture from 2007)
Then off to stay overnight with Alan & Shelia (Scottish boating friends) in a little Village called Azille. This is the local wine cave,where the locals were in full flow delivering their grapes. 


And of course Max found the price very reasonable.

So we leave Beziers and head on our last journey down The Canal du Midi to Adge and the boat yard where we will get taken out of the water. (Canvas and glass down.)


And we continue to see some unusual sights!!  Love the hat.

Arrive in Allemand Yard and Kiwi Rose gets taken out of the water.
 And we are so close to going out to sea.!!!

                              So we stay in a Air bnb for a few days while we packed  up the boat and Max 
still managed to watch the World Cup Rugby on French TV. 

AND SO TO BED.


Its been a long hot summer, starting from St Jean de Losne, travelling down the Rhone via Lyon, Avignon, and down to Montpellier and the South of France.  
We had a great time travellng down, spending time with lots of old friends and making new friends along the way.  

As we drove back home across France we stopped in St Jean de Losne catch up with John & Michelle, and Tony & Kay for a good pizza and a few drinks. 
Then onto to Brugge where we stayed with Aileen & Graham overnight before tackling the Euro tunnel and the M20 & M25 back to Chichester.


SO
Au revoir
for another year..
