There was a huge band of rain crossing Northern France and Southern England this morning - I gather it scuppered our usual tai chi class in the park, and it certainly made our morning rather unpleasant. First we couldn't get out of the Camping-Car park, but when I entered the code the person on the phone gave me, the barrier suddenly stopped sulking and worked, although the person behind was obviously still having trouble by the time we had used the services (outside the barrier) and were ready to leave. When we had arrived the previous day, the barrier had been completely broken off, probably by someone who had got fed up of it, but by the time we got back from our visit to the town, someone had put it back.
Our first port of call was a local supermarket, where I did some shopping and the Swan Whisperer tried to get gas, but they didn't have the kind we used; however, we called in at an Intermarché in Villedieu-les-Poeles en route and were able to get some there. We had to wait, though, as the kiosk was closed until 14:00, so we had some lunch while we waited, and then there was no problem except for the rain!
We asked the Satnav to take us on a more scenic route to Les Ilots, despite the rain, and it was very pleasant driving along the coast, although rather slow, as it was village after village, so 50 kph, with random blasts of 30 kph, all the way. However, we eventually arrived at this motorhome park, which is not a Camping-Car park, although about the same price and with the same amenities. There is, however, a staffed reception, which is nice. And the band of rain had passed over, so I am hoping that tomorrow's weather will be better. The forecast is for it to be colder, though.
The original plan was to have been to get a bus to Saint-Malo to their Christmas Market, but when push came to shove, I felt really tired and slightly unwell, so the Swan Whisperer went for a long walk - and took some lovely photos, two of which are reproduced below - while I knitted and then rested on the bed while he got our usual Saturday sausages and mash!
