An unplanned turn West

A cool dry start to the day with cowslips in the lorry park

Sun out by 10am near Lyon

30 minutes to Valence and all the trees are greening up.

Snow on the mountains in the distance

 Dravelling = driving & travelling

By the end of the day poppies near Arles as we took an unplanned turn to the West and spent the night in the Camargue

Lorry park sleepover south of Dijon

Heading east and nudging south. 

Still not thinking in kilometres & misjudging the extra weight we were towing, plus the windy conditions we drove quietly for what seemed like forever with the orange out of diesel light shouting at us. Literally rolled into an aire just as the the van made a click that said completely empty. Luckily we were able to refuel with no damage to the van, lesson learnt was to keep filling up when half empty.

hawks sky dancing

Slept with the lorries just south of Dijon - steady all night sound and rhythm of the motorway

Lemon yellow grape blue buildings

Passing through Northern France, fields saturated, turned and ploughed red brown, glistening wet.

Storm sky behind us

Everything in lines
