It started to snow as I was having breakfast this morning and ended up rushing around like crazy to get the tent down and everything packed away before it got covered......cold porridge anyone?
Spotted an Auchan hypermarket this morning.......so many goodies! I came out with 2 bags full of treats, looked at my bike and thought where am I going to stash all this?

If I'm passing through a village around 5pm I'll find (often the only) cafe/bar and order a coffee and brandy to pep me up. The brandy comes in a very large glass and all for around 2.50 euro. I'm tempted to have another but I'd never get going again.
I think I eat well when camping, Tonight was pasta with garlic, fresh mushrooms and diced smoked ham dressed with fresh watercress (which I'd spotted in a chalk stream and stuffed my flask full). Yum!

| Myfirst and probably last campfire - smoke and ash everywhere! |
My favourite camp spots are normally in pine forest, sheltered and a carpet of pine needles. I lit my first log fire to sit around but it was a bit of a failure as the wind kept blowing smoke and ash into my tent and cooking stuff. It snowed overnight - definitely into winter operations now!

| This taught me to put all my stuff away at night - almost! |
