Well well well, here we are then, week 1, and what a week we've had thus far. Naturally we left in very high spirits only to be dampened by the French version of 'drought'. I.E pissing it down rain and gale force winds. Nevermind, these things happen, at least we have the shelter of our trusty, reliable van.. until we caught sight of the underside and heard the brakes squeal as we tried to stop. A BIG shout out to Andy at Campervans4u and EMG Motors of Ely for letting us head off into the (not so) sunset with a rusty tin can as an exhaust and the braking system of an oil tanker..
We've stuck it out in Vannes to get it all sorted by a local genius and luckily we are in the unbelievably beautiful Gulf de Morbihan, sun is out, beers sunk, skin burnt.
In between we have been looking for our French home (see below picture of our 'dream'). Not as bad as it looks although you should bring an umbrella, wellies (and a bucket for the obvious) when you come and visit. Lots to consider..
Excuse the look of the blog for now (Matt), it WILL look better soon.
Tune in for another excruciating instalment next week (or so)!
