Thursday in southern France was still a bit chilly and we decamped early for the cross-Spain leg. Its easy driving on the largely empty roads which only get busy round the big cities. We crossed Spain in a blur of…

Don’t Trust a Woman with Eyeballs in her Bag.
There was a Petanque competition last week, open to all, which we had a go at. You can just see the orange cochonet or piglet that Nia is aiming for in the foreground. We failed to figure in the prize…

There are Bones in these Olives
We spent the last couple of days at the Calig campsite exploring Vinaròs and Cervera. We cycled back to Vinaròs on Wednesday to pick up a Sim from the local vodaphone shop. Handily, there was a cafe just by the…
The Daily Bath…more from Mrs Frank Skinner
The temperature is climbing here in Càlig so we are staying put for the time being. We started the day with a bike ride in to Càlig to pick up baguettes and some lovely jam filled pastries for a picnic…
