Yes, I've had a lovely holiday, thanks. Did about 1400 miles, half of them towing the caravan, and the G/Cherokee turned in an average 20 mpg. Diesel at between 74 and 90 Eurocents (50p-60p)a litre supermarket/motorway prices. Weather in the Loire valley scorching, wine and cheese as wonderful as ever. Saw one traffic cop all the while, flashes of approaching drivers gave advance warning. It does seem to be the season for French roadbuilders to close roads and signpost the first half of the diversion only but that adds to the fun! Even towed around the east circular of Paris (La Francilienne) and it wasn't as daunting as I'd feared - much easier than the M25 on a busy day. Only a bit hairy around CDG airport.

At the end, back to Dover and miles of the M20 contraflowed with SPECS cameras enforcing the 50 limit (thanks, Geodesy!).

So, with property a quarter of the price of Surrey, what am I doing here? I'm thinking very hard on that one.

Sorry to ramble on but you know how it is after a holiday.....

NO! The light at the end of the tunnel is the torch carried by the git bringing another pile of work
