A good day yesterday. Our journey went well. Cats delivered and final loading of the car saw us on our way at 10.30. The first port of call was Go Outdoors in Lincoln for a spare air bed as we have very little trust in their lack of puncturability!! We also invested in some new walking trainers for Heather.
However, it was as we were driving through Lincoln that we realied that we had left a large pan of tagine in the fridge instead of putting it in the freezer. Not a problem though - we rang a fiend who has a house key and arranged for him to rescue it for his tea.
The remainder of the journey went well in temperatures reaching 25C although we ran into a storm just north of Southampton. We quickly found our Premier Inn by the harbour and met up with my brother and his wife. Surprisingly I discovered that it was beer o'clock so Peter and I repaired to the hostelry next door to check it out for our evening meal.
This morning we were up early and will shortly be driving to the ferry terminal for boarding and sailing at 8.45. I have to say I am looking forward to breakfast on board.
It was a quick journey to the ferry terminal and boarding went well. The continental breakfast was excellent. We have explored the ship and are now sailing past the Isle of Wight. We had good views of The Victory and our latest aircraft carrier as we left Portsmouth. Having seen a map of our route it looks as if we shall pass close to the Brittany coast. I look forward to it.
Unfortunately the WiFi signal is not up to uploading photos so I will try when we are in Spain if we get a strong enough WiFi.
A very pleasant and lazy day has been spent on the boat with an excellent evening meal looking out at the coast of Brittany. After our meal we wandered out on deck to enjoy a beautiful sunset as we passed through the islands off the coast. Time for a post prandial shifter now I think.
