We have made a number of car journeys to Marsilly with the car packed tight with stuff. On more than one occasion we have observed that we had packed "everything but the kitchen sink". Well this time we packed the kitchen sink! We are recycling the sink that was in the kitchen in The Knoll to the house in France as part of our plan for the next small upgrade to the kitchen fittings. Whether we actually do an upgrade is anybody's guess but at least we are now prepared.
The journey here was very good, truly like a start to the holiday. We left Beckenham "early" and called in to see Alison & David on Hayling Island before transferring to the ferry port. The new terminal at Portsmouth is now open and is a big improvement on its shed-like predecessor.
The ferry was busy but we secured an early table in the restaurant and enjoyed a very good meal before ending the evening watching a magician giving his show to the huge delight of all the children (of whatever age).
We had a glorious day for the 200 mile drive down and we landed at the front door about 12.45pm. Just starting to get the feel of the place, everything in good order. The house has got through the winter without any problems even thought the saga of the water stop cock continues.
No we will turn to thinking of what we will do to while way the next couple of weeks.
