Finally we have made internet connection since our departure last week.
You'll be pleased to know that we made it safely across the channel and have already clocked up over 1000 miles.
Departure day was an emotional event for all those brave enough to show up. Tears were shed and lots of hugs exchanged. After nearly 30 years in Lawn Close, it was a strange feeling to be leaving.
Anyhow, we spent our first night around Bolougne before setting off South to Rendevous wit Ian and Mellanie in La Tranche Sur Mer. We have spent the last week working our way back up through Brittany checking out the property market as we went.
Today we are in a place called Concarneau and it is the first place we have found working internet. A number of false starts and a few miles on the bike without success resulted in us phoning the oracle "Tony" last night to find a proper Cyber Cafe.
I've attached a picture of the first pile of rubble that could make for a nice house.
Thanks to everyone for your comments and we look forward to catching up with you all again soon.

Well, the ventilation looks quite good.
That's not ventilation, it's climatisation normale.
So let me get this straight. You bought two boxes - one with wheels and one without. You put everything you couldn't carry in the less mobile of the two and then drove off in the other one, right?
D#mn, I wish I had thought of that!
Glad to hear you guys got away safe and sound. Sorry not be there for the big send off. You'll probably hear more from me thru your blog than you have in person since last season.
I look forward to you next entry - in the meantime, travel safe.
