Hello from Chateau la Garenne near the Caen Ferry

LIGHT Here AT THE END OF THE COVID SAGA !!! No covid for 50 mile radius according to our local undertaker (who had hoped to retire... )

Anyway campers regulars and new, the French decided enough was enough so they went back to work from the 11th May - but with masks and observing the 2m rule

The markets are open. Brittany ferries are open from 11th May we are informed but check first.

So.. it's full Steam Ahead for France. We accept bookings as always on flexi basis. After all your on holiday and not having to make dates it's not the end of the world, if you book and cannot make it we will just switch dates to suit.

Plenty of space, peace and quiet here... see you soon.

Sounds encouraging, but UK campers can't come over at the moment, but at least you can have local French visitors I guess. Hopefully perhaps we will be able to visit later in the year, who knows.

Cheers

It was if you was returning home from China.

If you hang around long enough on the Kent coast you should be able to grab a free rubber dinghy and outboard when the immigrants sail in

Unfortunately, for those returning though the tunnel, the light at this end has been turned off indefinitely.

Ho humm.
