I was awake a bit in the night worrying about a Church issue, which can and will be resolved but not until next week. Why does one worry about things one can't control? Anyway, I decided to treat myself to another half-hour of sleep after the alarm went off and I had taken my first pill of the day - it was actually nearer 45 minutes!
The Swan Whisperer went for a run before breakfast, and it is as well he did, as the rain started almost as soon as he got back, and has only really stopped this evening. It was not a wide band of rain, but it was a long one - and we were driving down the length of it! Before we set out, though, we went to Auchan where I did some shopping and the SW got diesel. The only two things I have definitely forgotten this holiday are some lip balm (which I remedied in Auchan) and the little bottle of antibacterial washing-up liquid that I use to clean my dentures. That isn't important, as I can use liquid soap instead, but it has reminded us that we need to buy washing-up liquid tomorrow!
We got away about 11:15 and drove on in the rain down a succession of motorways, stopping for lunch, and tackling Rouen. Why they don't build a proper motorway bypass of the city is beyond me - the Satnav's directions weren't totally clear and we took a wrong turning, and then got stuck in trafic, although not badly, and the Satnav did get us out of trouble, but all the same.... a proper rocade or ring road would be nice!
Anyway, we finally arrived in Bernay about 16:30 and found the Camping-Car Park which is obviously a former campsite - and may, indeed, be used as such in the summer. There are a few hard-standing pitches, which we are on one of, and seem very well found. The Swan Whisperer went out for an explore and I cuddled up under my duvet and watched videos, and it is about to be supper time!
Look at the sunset from my bedroom window!
