Once again it was not raining this morning - we have had rain today, but nothing like the past two days. I went for a brief leg-stretch to look at the Rhine, and was delighted to see the most enormous barge laden with containers going downstream.
We were in no hurry this morning, and didn't set off until well past 10. Our first port of call was a ReWe, where I did a Last Shop in Germany (yes, Mummy, I did get those coloured eggs we like!), wondering whether to get some of the delicious-looking white wine they were selling. Much as it pains me to say this, I think Germany and Austria may do nicer white wine than France, but nobody can compare with Mas Alart's rosé!
We then set off on today's relatively short journey back to France, stopping for lunch only about 30 minutes short of our destination. We are in a Camping-Car park - I did book, but need not have as we are the only people here. Nothing wrong with the place, and it's half-way between Saarbrucken and Metz, so quite a useful stopping-place. I have to admit that I slept most of the journey - I hadn't slept terribly well last night, what with traffic noise, and the noise of the rain on the roof.
The Swan Whisperer has been for his usual walk, and I dozed and read most of the afternoon. I am now cooking supper of a huge vegetable stew with lardons, accompanied by green beans. The stew/hash/whatever should do us twice.
