Well after a week abroad we’ve seen our fair share of rain!
We crossed the channel on Monday morning and then drove in torrential rain down the coast of Northern France to stay the night at Fort Mahon-Plage; a deserted holiday resort.
To be fair the first few days consisted of eating cheese, drinking wine and sleeping, although we did stop briefly to consider buying a nearly new Citroen!
After this we headed to St Jacques de Néhou to visit Alex’s brother Chris, Hélène and family. They enjoyed such luxury foreign gifts as Marmite, Bombay mix and Yorkshire tea; and we enjoyed their fabulous hospitality as ever. The kids also enjoyed the inflatable jousting set we gave them, we give it a week before the dog has a go at them!
We’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you to the forth member of our team; Grandad. Grandad Ellis is pushing forward through France, much as he did in 1944, only this time he’s made of wool and hanging from our rear view mirror!
So what' going on in Blighty? And most importantly, has Gail been arrested for Joe's murder yet?! - bound to happen - can see it coming a mile off!

I see you are heading for La Rochelle, so a word of warning. When we went there some years ago we discovered that the local map was printed with north at the bottom of the page. It nearly caused a divorce !

Hi Glad to see you are having a great time.It has snowed here in the night but it is now bright sunshine. Joyce
Hello boys! Just sat here with Hannah Spanner, our usual Thursday night watching Corrie! Update on Corrie, Gail still has a mushroom head and is weeping into her glass of wine over Joe. She has not been convicted as yet. Will keep you posted on that.
Going out for Friday night drinks after work tomorrow with the ladies, you'll be missed! Looks like you are having an amazing time already, very envious.
You'll be pleased to hear that the weather is getting better here, it feels like spring is just around the corner. Camper van looks ace, love the front seats that move round to the middle, how modern!
Missing you - look after yourselves. xxxDaxaxxx
