This week appears to have been inordinately busy! "Tired" doesn't really begin to cover it, and getting up at 06:00 this morning really didn't help!
I think the older we get, the longer it takes to get ready, and it was after 09:00 when we set off for Sussex. A slow old drive, somehow every traffic light that could be red, was. Actually, I think that is an exaggeration, but not by much. However, we arrived by about 11:30, and the Swan Whisperer went to get the WoMo, and we spent the next hour transferring stuff from the car and putting it away, all except the SW's clothes and making the bed, which we did on the crossing.
After a delicious lunch of kedgeree and home-made cheesecake, we set of shortly before 14:00; I fell asleep as we joined the M23, and didn't really surface until we were almost at Le Shuttle! We got on a crossing 30 minutes before our booked one, and it was very empty. Just time for a quick cup of tea, and we were through and on the train.
When we arrived in Calais, we did a quick trip to Carrefour to get some vegetable matter to go with the cooked chicken thighs I'd bought for supper, and then up here to the Camping-Car Park. I am annoyed because I folded up my rainbow shopping bag, which I love as it folds almost flat, and now I can't find it. It has to be in the WoMo somewhere, but where? Oh well, it will either turn up or it won't, and I do have others.
Meanwhile today's photo is of the rosemary bush outside no 6, which is looking lovely. Spring is definitely arriving - there was a polyanthus in their garden that was already in flower, and lots of blossom and primroses and so on. Such a pity the weather is much colder today, and we have the heating on low.
