Drove up to Calais to get the Channel Tunnel train back to England. Listened to Tape 7 of my French course just before making the crossing – a bit late now, I suppose – although I’ve been surprised at how much basic French I’ve still got after barely using it for forty years!
Drove on to Mike and Diana’s house near Battle in East Sussex where they had prepared the most fantastic roast dinner [they are the couple that we met way back in the Picos de Europa]. They showed us some of their photos {Mike used to be a photographer with the Daily Mirror} including their 50th Wedding Anniversary album which was beautifully put together with a mixture of old and more recent photos.

After leaving Mike and Diana’s we headed off for our final destination of the day – the Travelodge in Littlehampton. We are staying here so that we can see Heather [an old friend of Dad’s in Spain] tomorrow. It seems rather strange parking a motorhome in a hotel car park but at £19.99 a night for the two of us, it’s a good deal. Apart from that, there are no campsites open near enough for us to be able to walk in to Heather’s.
