Last full day (provided we can get on the ferry tomorrow). Walking dog in the morning showed how full the site was, with many very nice, very expensive MHs. One, in particular, took my eye, because it was in the same range as ours, only on an 07 plate. Same Fiat JTD, so must have been in stock for at least a year, not that it matters. It was a Burstner T615, which was a little longer. Spoke to the owners, a couple from Northern Ireland, who, like us, were still learning, having owned it for just a year. Had done more miles in that year than we had. Invited in, popped my head in to see our preferred layout, fixed end bed with toilet/washroom alongside, and fixed dining table. Both front seats rotated (as ours do, rather pointlessly) with additional passenger seat(s). Much longer awning, owner asked me did I have any experience of mounting the centre bracing pole, which I had not. Yes, something like that would be perfect. Went for a wander in the MH to Guines, ended up in the town centre which was almost pedestrianised. The MH felt much larger than it was, there. Ended up in Calais town centre, parked on an official parking area, which was in reality a cleared site. Had a lovely coffee at a bar right opposite the theatre. There is more to Calais than most people, well us, realised. Then drove off, a look round Auchan, made essential purchases, filled up with fuel for the last time in France (1.116 Euros per litre) (38 litres after 235 miles – 6.2 miles per litre – 28.1 mpg) then back to La Bien Assise for lunch and a relaxing afternoon. Clouding – storm coming?
