Ahem, after a spot of “writer’s block”, it’s time to finish these posts- we’ve been home a few days now, so it’s time to tie up some loose ends etc. This was now the return part of our fabulous month in France and we couldn’t think of a way around that, sadly.
Hey ho, Sancoins was our next free Aire, in a beautiful riverside setting. Mohos were parked parallel to the water’s edge, and there were some picnic benches too. This, for Andrew, is a sign that “camping behaviour” is allowed, i.e. time to get the BBQ out! Well, it was brought out for me to warm up a quiche we’d bought the other day, at least.
Our walk into town showed it was “shut for lunch” with the exception of a lovely Boulangerie. There were a lot of road works going on and it looked like they were about to have a brand new market square. Or maybe yet more parking.
While parked, one of our “neighbours” approached, and asked if he could possibly see the layout of our van, as he suspected it might be similar to his. Sure enough, his Pilote was very similar. We had a lovely chat with Steve and Maureen, exchanging some stories of our travels. They weren’t due to return to the UK till the end of October and we felt quite jealous. It was also quite a novelty to meet fellow Brits.
Dinner (my warmed up quiche) was enjoyed at the picnic table, complete with tablecloth and of course a bottle of wine. Bliss.
