    Last day at work. Can't wait for 4.45pm.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was crumpets, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is pork loin chops, chips, onion rings and coleslaw.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • walking the dog
    • load of washing
    • last of the packing
    • loading up the van
    • cleaning the bathrooms
    • vacuuming the house
    Might have time to sit down and watch some TV after that little lot. I don't expect we will be late out of bed.

    Hurrah for last day at work - it is mine for a few days now too, although I don't think there is any chance we'll have any time to watch TV tonight! :lol: 

    Have a wonderful trip - safe travels!

    It was a long drive yesterday but where we stayed was amazing. Right by the sea with a distant view of France.




    We have just checked into the tunnel and passed passport control and are now waiting to board the train. Shouldn't be too long before we start boarding now.

    Enjoy France.  Keep an eye on your data usage while you're in France as it can end up being quite expensive otherwise.  Most mobile operators only allow 12 Gb a month, O2 allow 25 Gb a month.  We try to use free wifi as much as possible while we're there.  McDs are good for free wifi if you come across one - there are quite a few now!
