Lunch in Tadworth, supper in Boulogne

We had a lovely day yesterday. For some time we've been intending to have another short trip to France. We're so fortunate where we live that we can be at the tunnel terminal in about an hour's drive from home. Luckily traffic was good yesterday and we even had a bit of sunshine on the journey to Folkestone. We even had time for a relaxed coffee before we boarded the shuttle.

35 minutes later and we were in 'la belle France' - amazing! This picture was taken outside Carrefour after having stocked up with a few bottles from another supermarket. I think Mark's wondering, 'how long till supper?'

A slight hitch for the gentlemen! Never mind, after a moment's hesitation, A and M trooped into the 'Dames' - biological necessity having taken precedence over any sense of lack of propriety!

Proof that I can enjoy 'moules marinieres' with the best of them.

Someone suggested stopping off for a 'digestif' at a lovely little bar further up the road called 'The Vole in the Hole' before we made our way back to the tunnel terminal at Les Coquelles.

I was very amused by the 'wall art' in the bar. I wonder whether they had all been 'acquired' by the proprietor or donated by some of his patrons!

A good journey back and we were home by 11pm and tucked up in bed well before midnight after a very enjoyable day. Looking forward to the next trip now.
