2021, September and the coming to the end of our holiday😢😢😢😢😢😢.

Not much to say really as we just pottered over old ground.

Flamingoes.

The 3rd tent fitting ----we are getting very good now at putting the framing up!!!!

Phillip and Nicolas doing the final fitting of the new back end of out winter tent...we bought some rather heavy material from the uk (circus tent plastic type canvas) so that made things trickier.. but all done now.

Just love Phillips' car.

These guys are pretty cool, and if I could stand up on a board with confidence, I would have a go.

Luckily the rains came the following day!! Cold, miserable, and it rained so hard we felt like we were in a submarine ( I even got my hottie filled for my cold feet) 

At last we have visitors in Bill and Min for 5-7 days.

Off to Marsellian for a few days then we headed up towards Beziers.

To make the buildings flow the builders here have put up a stainless frontage down the side of the building which gives you the impression of a slopping roof side.

And Marseillan of course is famous for its production of Noilly Prat Vermouth.  

Hire boats get up to all sorts of things, playing bagpipes and trumpets,, but the guy sat on the

front and played the drums everytime they went into a lock

Lunch out with Bill, Min, Alan and Shelia.  

And the wine was so good we bought a small 10L cask home with us 

from the winery next door.

One job Bill and Max got done was to put in the new galley fridge--- a well deserved beer I think..  

Odd pictures of Beziers from our cycle rides.

 So now ready for packing up, and finally leaving France on our 88th day. 

PCR tests all done and the mountains of paperwork, tent erected again, but fits well-- this one should hold!!  and we are ready.

We left at 10am and did a long drive to Dieppe and caught the midnight ferry. 

Arrived home at 5 am, with a slight feeling of jetlag.

Another use for a face mask--a eye mask!!!
