We can understand why France is lush and green if the regularity of rain is anything like the downpour this morning. Long rumbling thunder let everyone know that a storm was in the offering- and it was!Life on the road is slowing down somewhat from the hectic pace we had been on in England and Wales. So, a more leisurely day today with very little distance covered.
We left the beautiful canal at St Venant and made our destination Grenay, just on the outskirts of Lens.
Another welcoming and pleasant place for motorhomes - and there was a French Pastry shop opposite!
Shortly after we arrived other intrepid travellers arrived in their VR (Vehicle Recreationale), all the way from Québec, Canada (🇨🇦 ).
Lyne and Daniel are at the end of their travels, returning to Canada in a little over a week, but they part own the van and will be continuing their journeys next year.
We meet many lovely people on our journey, and Lyne and Daniel are just such people. We spent a number of hours enjoying there company and sharing stories over some beer and wine.
Back to the van late to cook our evening meals - spaghetti bolonaise!
Now, that's the pace and what all holidays are about. Nice spot, and must have been delightful to have the company of a couple of Canadians. Well done xx
