A Gardener in France

Traveling was by Eurotunnel....a longer jouney than we might have chosen but it suited the dog well to travel with us rather than be abandoned to her fate in the bowels of a car ferry.

Greenfield to Chabris is 8 hours, door to door, including messing about having the car strip-searched at Dover and a couple of stops at rest areas in France. We drove by motorway almost the whole journey, M1, M25, M20 in the UK, A216, A26, around Paris and then A10, A71 and a little stretch of A85; just short of 500 miles in total.

With air conditioning and cruise control the journey was a breeze and we arrived in time for a meal at the salad bar in Chabris high street.

After dinner we took a walk with the dog over the River Cher to the canal, checking out the river-side beach and the woods on the hill nearby. The photo shows the holy well and vineyard behind.

Time for bed after a hard day, ignoring the ants on the wall in the lounge for the time being.
