The continuing saga…

The funfair was very well supported yesterday, Sunday, afternoon but there were very few people around in the evening.  The fake loud announcements stopped at 9 p.m. and many attractions closed or started to.  The music quietened and the last one closed at 10.30. when a blanket of silence spread over the town.

Some of the vehicles left during the day but others remained to squeeze another day out and re-opened, with music, at 4 p.m.  The centre and linking roads are still full of parked vehicles and stalls.

We received an email this morning - the central heating is to be fixed “this week” and the beleaguered receptionist/secretary will give us a day and time when she knows it.

It is a beautiful, sunny day and 26C.  We needed a few things from Bricomarché - the DIY store and head for the Stenay one.

From there we drove through the town to Port de Plaisance.  The camper-van site and little marina were busy with late holidaymakers and we watched a boat with an Australian flag enter the port from the River Meuse.

Just the right-sized space left to moor!

 We took a stroll along the river bank and spotted two red tints of Autumn.

A light breeze stirred the leaves which shimmered in the sun.

Shiny red apples.

On the way back, we again went in search of that missing monument I wrote about recently, this time taking the first and nearby Juvigny Forest road on the left. 

About a mile-and-a-half later we came to a dead-end turning space and returned.

Still no sign of the monument…apparently it is one to the resistance in WW11.  Ron said it was a hidden camp.  I said “It still is”.

When we got back to our little town, we were grateful that the space we had left in La Poste car park was still available.

Time for a cuppa.
