Road trip
So today we leave for Messanges, 400 miles down south, 5 safaris and I think 11 tents, some 15 mobiles to be cleaned, tree sap will be a joy. Got a nasty cough.

Almost
Just a few days to go now, GB sticker on car, oil checked, sunglasses polished. Final few things to get, Did you know you can buy Durecell batteries for way less then half price from the interweb? These are industrial versions.
Still deciding what cook books to take, so many and such little space. joe mobile French SIM card now topped up, that data and unlimited calls to most parts of the world for just €21 a month, very handy to call the wife from the other side of the campsite to bring a wine!
Updates soon.

Food
One of the best parts of being a courier for me is FOOD, waking up each day in France and the thought of great local produce, fresh fish and the smell of bread baking at the local boulanger. Can't wait to bbq the local sardines wow.
Cook books packed, spices secured in their containers and my trusty old seasoned frying pan at the ready.
Bring it on.
What's a week
So This time next week we will have had a good sleep in a peimier classe hotel, with a little help from our red wine friends. Then we will be off to our campsite.
No idea what happens then, we think we might be off around northern France doing a little montage.
Either way we can't wait.

April is here
Well we go this month, it seems a long time coming. Almost everything is ready, a couple of pairs of shorts to get and that's about it. The euro is wreaking again, that's good for our sterling wages and also for those booking a euro holiday from the UK.
Just can't wait to feel some warmth. Fed up with the cold weather here.

Cant wait.

We were going to blog last season but only managed a few days, the site we ended up at had very expensive internet.
Its 25th February and we are away to work in the Vendee France mid April. We are returning to to StHilaire we were there in 2012 and loved it.
Just waiting for the contracts, but we have about three weeks montage around sites on the west coast of France first.
