Epernay revisited

Tuesday 18th June 2019

Woken with a start at 6am having forgotten to change or even turn off the alarm clock.

It was however a beautiful morning and so we had an early shower and breakfast and began making good for our move today on to Epernay.  We stayed here, at the same site, many years ago and look forward to revisiting.

In the end we didn't get away until 9.30 by which time the sky had clouded over although it remained hot, humid even.

An uneventful journey, we stopped for a comfort break then later for diesel.  £1.393  (not €'s) per ltr, I paid £1.249 when I filled up before leaving home.

Midway through our journey the sky cleared and we were treated to unbroken sunshine until well into the evening.  We arrived cool enough but with a clear sky and added humidity, by the time we had set up home for two nights we were unatractive blobs of persperation, waiting, and wishing, to be rung out.

Everything takes that much longer when you're tired, and hot and sticky, oh, and old!  The heat and humidity really made us feel our age.

The evening meal now out of the way, we're just sitting here watching the world go by and preparing a shopping list for tomorrow before going for that long awaited shower.
