Three days , two nights camping experiment completed, we used all the gear we bought, plus a couple more items extra we thought of later, plus the MIL gave us a camping gas stove that was brand new in the box( gawd knows why she had it), which is handy we have two now.

We are now ready as we can be for the main trip to Germany next month.

We had a fun time, did some cycling, a calf, a goat and a lamb licked my hand on the farm and I helped feed them.

I'm guessing that should read ''licked'' - unless it was some kind of martial arts farm.

The cars in there somewhere

I'm now 60th on a segment on Strava!

I can only assume that there's not many people go that way

We've had a lovely day at Blenheim Palace, spent the morning at the food festival and the afternoon in the house and grounds. And the rain held off until we were on our way home.

I recently got a 4th place.... ... so I checked just how many other females had done that segment (4) , and just being nosy I compared myself to the men only.... I ranked something like 77/84, never mind! But wait, who was that 2 below... a work colleague, I told him and he laughed then told me he was going to go and beat my time

Northern France is looking grim as we draw closer to Calais.

I'm hoping P&O will let us on an earlier ferry as we are making good time.

Availability of gas supplies?

I have a question for peeps on here that have travelled by train on the Continent.

On German High Speed ICE (aka InterCity)trains you can reserve a seat up to one hour before departure. If you board a train there is a little label/screen or similar on the top of the seat back which in English means "available for reservation". This presumably means that if you have not got a reservation, you may sit there. The second word is, I am reliably informed, "Reseviert", but what is the first word/abbreviation on the screen/label gismo. It sounds comply cated but if I am sure someone, possibly @Reynard or @TheDoctor will know what I mean.

In other news I have .

I had some dust in my eye and was rubbing it, as you do. Bob decided he would be helpful and nudged my arm at completely the wrong moment, so I poked myself in the eye.

Earache. Caused, most likely, by a surplus of wax. I've stocked up on Earex.

Availability of gas supplies?

Eh, Wha'?

 

[Gravity Aided]

lots of scrapy noises in my living room, as Italian ices are devoured, after a main course of Polska Kielbasa.

 

[Gravity Aided]

Eh, Wha'?

Can you get the specific iso-butane cartridge for your stove, where you are going? Or will you cart a bunch along?

 

[GrumpyGregry]

Can you not hook it out with the hooky end of the toothpick on your Swiss Army knife? In private obviously.

Hmmm, last time I tried anything clever like that I ended up in hospital!
