Monday saw yet another big queue at the stellplatz for the baker's van, which arrived with the usual din and screeching of tyres. We wanted to stock up on groceries before crossing the border into Belgium, so we found a nice supermarket near Trier, then into Luxembourg to fill up with fuel (the price had risen by over 5c a litre over the time we were out). It was then the usual severe vibration testing on the Belgian "roads" before we parked up for the night in a delightful village in the Ardennes called Redu, famous(?) for being a book village. We might have had a long wait for the bakers to open though - it only opens from Friday to Sunday.
On Tuesday we continued our journey home, stopping at the FLT space at Thieu, where we enjoyed a glass of wine in the warm sunshine.
On Wednesday we arrived at Cite Europe. We mooched around and crossed back over the ditch on Thursday morning, arriving at the caravan and motorhome club site at Crystal Palace for opening at midday. From there is was visiting relations on the Thursday and Friday, before heading to Twickenham on Saturday to watch Harlequins beat Agen. Mind you, the trains continue to be absolutely appalling. 2 hours to go 15 miles. Could have walked it quicker.

There was no church bells in London early on Sunday morning, but there was an inconsiderate fellow camper banging pots and pans at 0700hrs. Still, despite the heavy rain and the early start we were very pleased to leave London, but who on earth decided that a 20mph limit was a good idea on the way out. Imbeciles!
