Crossing has been pretty calm, thank goodness. Forgot to bring the maps up with me and realise I don't have any offline maps on the phone. So much for planning!
Internet connection very poor, possibly due to the hundreds of French pupils on the boat! We'd also a good number of very large Irish caravans, complete with lots of children tho I haven't seen them on board. Guess they're not at school then. The ones I shared a lift with, he said Did you bring the gin with you? Well, I guess if you're stuck in the cabin with little ones...
Drove through miles of primrose-clad verges - beautiful! Met up with Ray n Prue n put the world to rights over a cuppa. Out for a walk and hadn't realised what dreadful neighbours Ray n Prue must be - see the cannon either side of the entrance here!
Beautiful sunshine and a glass of red in the local village - what's not to like?!
Had a really lovely time catching up with Ray and Prue. And Ray, stop teasing me with that sim deal - which isn't available any more!! You were very lucky to catch it.
A couple of photos of Ray's place. I didn't see any wildlife this time but have seen deer before in the field in front. Loads of room, EHU, water if you need it. And A1 hosts.
For future reference the Intermarche on the outskirts of Sees has a service only Aire and also MH parking bays just over from the filling station. The supermarket is very good and just a short walk to the centre of Sees.
Blimey, according to what I'm seeing you posted that a day ago Alan - like the rest of the posts today.... Oops, I see my phone time is showing Sunday 24th March. How on earth can that happen?! I shall investigate.
In the meantime, I don't understand why the png file is being rejected - any ideas?
On another forum I have come across the situation that whilst I had reduced the File Size to less than 1mb when 10mb were acceptable the file would not load. The pictures original size was 6000 X 4000 pixels and when I halved those figures it loaded and I could have loaded it if the file size was 9mb.
Save the reduced size photo under a different name so saves the original. You will be surprised how good the pics will be if you halve the Pixel count.
LitPhoto doesn't give you the option to save as a different name but it does save to a separate LitPhoto folder, so keeping your original safe. Tho there is an option to delete the original.
Satnav is great I'm glad to say. It took a very long time to pick up a satellite signal when I first got off the boat and I was apprehensive. But since then, grand!
Having gone to the service in the basilica (much more ornate, very dark) I headed for La Loupe. I didn't want to go directly to Chartres as I've been on these roads many times. La Loupe was a bit of a disappointment in that the aire was sharing the square with a fairground, with very loud music. A definite no-no for me so I didn't even empty the loo never mind have a look at the town (another time). So on to Courville-sur-Eure - what a happy find - lovely green area with river alongside, lake over the road, nice walks, would be a nice wee town but everything closed on Sunday (except the fruit n veg shop, strangely). And all free (tho services cost).
