Here comes the rain again

 It would seem we're on the edge of a big storm, though we're just getting rain mostly. A bit of a wind as I write too.

After another MH had left we realised that there was free power, so we plugged in and read while things charged up. It was pretty wet outside anyway, so not too encouraging for a walk into the town. A rit camper pulled up next door so we had a bit of a chat with him. They've been here for three weeks I think he said, and hadn't seen many Brits in that time either.

Anyway it cleared a little so we wandered around the town. Being midday on a Monday everything was shut except the church. (Sundays and Mondays are weekends for many businesses.)


It seems the ancient French were wargamers though I couldn't find the Terrain Effects Chart so don't know what the map represents.  😉


It was bad enough getting Reggie through these narrow winding roads, let alone a bus as we see here or the large trucks that pass through.

Though we were following a scenic route the weather didn't enhance out pleasure by any means. We stumbled across Chateau d'Anet, the/a 16th C residence of Diane of Poitiers, the/a mistress of King Henry II. J stayed in the car while I photographed the outside, as it was too late to go in.






Then on to Giverny on the Seine where there is an Impressionist Museum and Monet's house. You have to pre-book, so there is some doubt whether we can get in or not.
