Dormobile Gathering 2015

[Jabbawocky]

Hi all

We definitely went. Picked William up from school at normal time and even though the holiday traffic was terrible, we were parked up on the ‘Aire de Service’ at Citi Europe Calais just after midnight. Friends joined us Saturday morning and we set off on quiet French Autoroutes towards Forges les Eaux. The only slight delay was road works at the Toll Booths, but it was so nice to be driving through the rolling countryside of Northern France. The Dia supermarket in Forges is a discount supermarket, but has fantastic fruit and veg, and also has the best butchers counter you have ever seen. Our favorite are the duck breast on a stick and the merguez sausages. Loaded up with food and booze we set off for the final leg to Lyons la foret. As you just don’t buy bread from a supermarket in France, the only stop was for baguettes from a village boulangerie. We arrived on site and went into the office to be told Dormy had booked us a pitch next to his.

Sorry the photos are limited, but my phone bust.

We are already planning to repeat the trip the same half term next year.

It has been too long, I miss Normandy.

I plan to come this year and bring Alice too.
I hope she leaves the beer this time and enjoys the wine instead!
