Day 2 – September 10
Headed along the Cote d’Opale from Calais and were delighted to enjoy brilliant sunshine after the “barbecue summer” in England! The sea is amazingly clear and the stretches of sandy beaches along this coastline are lovely. We stopped off at an area of natural beauty at Dunes de la Slack and picked fresh mussels from the beach and cooked them in white wine, butter and garlic with a glass of wine each – who said no such thing as a free lunch?? Peter was a bit hesitant, but we are still breathing!
Staying tonight at Quend-Plage-Les-Pins on an aire overlooking the beach for free, paying 2 euros for 5 minutes worth of water if you need it – great so long as the end doesn’t come off your hose….! Every is very quiet and pretty much closed for the season, but it is amazing how many fellow motorhomers there are here! We watched the sun go down over the sea with another bottle of red…..
I always knew you two were just busking along in Europe after a free lunch! Dead jealous a mussels are my favourite. PS thanks for your text... I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment with new job and holiday tomorrow - and I must confess I have had an accident in Katy! Stressed, but still smiling and actually still happy... yer jest can't keep a good 'un down. Have a glass for me. xx
