Service Station cook up - Central France
|
Having stayed the night near Chamonix, we spent the next day travelling the toll road to Calais. We broke the journey up with plenty of food stops. Most of which we really rather civilized, although I did get caught out in a particularly heavy downpour, just as I was about to serve up!

It's amazing what you see drive past on the road....

Once back in Blighty, we spent the next night in Dockenfield, before continuing north to Hitchin, to celebrate with cousin Walter - at a surprise Hawaiian Party! A great night indeed, with some good tunes, great dancing and lots of friendly faces, who'd come from all over Europe!

It was well past 2am, by the time we reached Fort Martin, but we were up early(ish) to prepare the house for the onset of 30 or so other Martin relatives, who were coming for lunch! Lovely day of eating, drinking, chatting and a good bit of Frizbee too!

Then came the final stretch - homeward bound at last after of 6 weeks away! Got in at dusk, lit the fire and collapsed.... Welcome back to The Cottage.
