The visit to the vet in Ardres.  Dogs get worried about that sort of thing! Especially when someone left their new lead on a bush in the last campsite so they are walking in towns attached to a long green cord.


But it was simple in the end – a dose of worming treatment and a squoosh of flea ointment. Tomorrow we will find out if the passport is all correct when we check in for the Channel Tunnel.
Ardres is a pretty town but I was shocked to see how many shops have closed and it wasn’t easy to find a cafe open for breakfast. I know you can’t get a croissant after 10am in France but we were nice and early this time.

We asked someone to direct us to some shops to buy food and he told us we needed to go to the big supermarket outside of town!
Sorry about the long absence – on the road, no wifi and no time to find it. But now we are nearing the end of the second stage of the trip!  Or is it the third stage?  Who knows – I don’t even know which day it is any more but I do know that tomorrow we take the train under the English channel.
