A
Road Less Travelled
'A
French Letter'

Halesowen.

The
boat has gone in for her first major (windows out – back to bare
metal) repainting after twelve years. This has curtailed our usual
spring until autumn cruise on the UK's inland waterways. We expected
to be in the dock by the end of March, it was however early May
before we waved Rosie goodbye. Next time we see her, she should be
resplendent once more. The repainting will take between six to eight
weeks and so, it opened up a further opportunity for us to return to
travelling in France. While at the same time we will be keeping an
eye on the French Canal system.
We
travelled down from our home in Yorkshire and our last night in
England was spent with friends in Halesowen. Before heading south
next morning to the quaint little seaside town of Dover-on-Sea. It
was an uneventful journey down the M1, M25 and M20. We had not
pre-booked our ferry crossing and so P&O lifted our leg, charging
an extra £50
on top of what we usually pay.
Two hours later we disembarked in Calais.
The adventure begins.
