Morning

It was a calm crossing Stanley and once the fog lifted it was very pleasant. We have done a different crossing, coming over to Caen and not St Malo. Much shorter and quicker but a very early start and then over a three hour drive to the house. Rather than arriving at 6.00 pm to a cold house we have stayed in a hotel half way. We had many short sharp showers on the way here, not pleasant to drive in at all. However its a pleasant little town famous for copper and making bells. We have been to it a few times before. Today is market day and I can hear them setting up. We will browse the stalls before we leave, and hope to buy some fresh veg etc.

Not sure of the forecast but not much different from home, just a couple of degrees warmer. Have a good day all

Morning Sue! That sounds like good planning, And a good start with fresh veggies from the market.... All you need now is some decent weather. Overcast here with us and enough south wind to cool us down to 2C. But still, think of what it could be like in early March! We are being very fortunate with our weather....

I shall have a day off from the shed, early breakfast and second sleep. Then from tomorrow I shall start the run in to the next engine, I have the castings here ready to be unpacked.
I shall take a view on a walk to the Co-op later.....
