Moulton to Mailleraye
Awoke at 02:30, and left Moulton just before 03:00. Good journey, took the M1, QE2 bridge crossing at about 4:30 so avoided any Dart charges. Tunnel was quiet although we were squeezed into the back of the 6:50.Upon reaching France we trundled off to Auchan at Grand Synth
Hemingby to Moulton
Left Hemingby at midday arrived Moulton about 14:30, amazingly the site was busy very busy, one pitch available.13 pounds paid and settled in, Jacqui got the bike out and we set off for Morag’s, stopping at Tesco’s for a 9v battery for the E&P remote.Katie & Chad turned up and caught up on news they seem very settled. Decided to to go out for tea so we cycled back, packed up the bikes away and then headed off to the Spinney for tea, which was ok, we headed back to the van and said our goodbyes.The bikes have performed well it will take time to get used to the auto gear selection but everything else is good.The E&P have gone into flashy mode again so a call to E&P and presumably a new remote required.
Van back
Picked up the van from SMC, all seemed ok. Had a look round and they had replaced the mastic in places could not see any crazing. We shall see??
Gave Jacqui keys so that she could check the porch light whilst waiting for paperwork. She opened hab door to find control panel hanging out. Warren popped it back but a bit typical sadly. Porch light works but will test tonight.
Upholstery approved but not delivered so am awaiting a call!
Uneventful journey, Jacqui cleaned it again inside, we shall load up over the weekend prior to tackling the garage on Tuesday.
SMC Warranty
Dropped the van off at SMC for some fixes
- GRP crazing
- Petrol cap area paint speckling
- Upholstery
- Porch light
- Waste plug and chain
Discussed inverter fitting with Warren and Steve. This time it was explained that attaches directly to the battery not the shunt so display amperage does not reflect the inverter draw. Apparently the shunt is in the fuse area and connection is not possible.
This was a bit different to the previous explanation. Fitting the socket under the cushions in the U shaped seating area, remote switch velcro’d in place.
Work should take a week or 2!!

Waiting for Solicitor, Journi
After finding the house, but before moving in we toured and logged our trip using an app Journi. This was very good but as with all of them you are very much tied to the app.

Europe 2018, 18 & 19
Long drive, bit tedious but no tolls arrived in Luxembourg, on the outskirts of Luxembourg City, at Camping Kockelscheur. A golf course, gym, with A large site, 36 euros 2 nights, plan is to visit the city by bus tomorrow.
Saturday the bus is free, rained a little but over night but nothing major. Quick bus trip to the Hamilus stop, had a brief wander around the streets when Jacqui checked and had an email, saying the alarm had gone off. We had brief debate checked van location and it had not moved, so decided to leave it, Jacqui mentioned the moths and that put my kind at rest as could not work out what had set off the alarm.
We had a coffee and then looked at the sites to visit info, the only one that stood out was the Maudan Gallery of Modern art, it was a 35 mi walk (hahhaha). We set off and the skies brightened and it got hotter, followed the Vauban itinerie. The museum cost 8e entry for that we got a on entry badge, magnetic very clever. Saw some interesting art work and some crap. Sometimes you do feel that the artist(?) with the best spiel get the exhibition. The wind artist Sunsuma shingo was v.good and some his pieces were exceĺlent.
Afetre the museum we needed physical, sustenance so found the Yumm festival they had some food wagons and a jazz orchestra. We queued a long time for for a truffle burger it was very good but I wish Jacqui had had the tagliatelle which self divine. Walked back and caught free bus , not much for tea.
Europe 2018, 17
Let the flower site, and agreed to head towards Lyon, we actually aimed for a stop called Nantua, on the side of a lake, turns out to be packed by 18:00 but stunning lake and mountain scenery, so we headed to another site with more spaces called Jeurre. Turned out to be excellent little stop had most of what you could want other than any sort of shops.
But very peaceful and great scenery. Decided we will try Luxembourg.
