After a year of talking and planning we have finally left for our first trip to France. N and I are travelling in a 7.5 ton horsebox (which my sister has affectionately named Winnie after a soft toy horse mascot she gave us for Christmas!). We have modernised the living quarters so travelling and living are comfortable and spacious, although we are causing quite a stir in some of the smaller French villages because of the size of the lorry!
The ferry crossing with P&O was easy and trouble free; we were able to turn up at Dover without booking and were put on the next cross channel ferry; we sat in amazement as we watched truck after truck being put on the ship; our lorry was small in comparison, but we did have the added bonus of tickets to the drivers lounge, a huge breakfast for only £3.99 with free drinks for the journey; highly recommended!!
Tomorrow is our first Brocante, we are very excited and looking forward to what we will find. Will update you with our treasures.
