La Seguiniere, Nr Cholet

 Friday 4 April

Carried on travelling this morning on the A28 via Le Mans towards the Loire.  We planned to stop for lunch at a picnic Aire near Angers, but then there was a sign - Ferme!  So we carried on around Angers and as satnav said there was an Intermarche supermarket just off one of the junctions, we thought their carpark will have to do.  But on seeing the shop and carpark, we couldn't see where the entrance was - so continued along the road meaning to turn round and try again.  But then we spotted a sports centre on the left with a large, almost empty carpark with a freshly mown lawn.  Just the spot for us!  

Not far on from there, we came to our next night's stay at another Camping-Car Park at La Seguiniere, west of Cholet.  Not as spacious as last night, but found a nice pitch.  Then a good walk into the village, admired the large church and it's colourful tulips

 


and then by the River Moine and it's lovely park.  

 

 


The old mill



On our way back, we passed a garden with this scarecrow.  We'd spotted it on our way into the park and waved to the chap in the garden - he looked ever so much like the scarecrow!  Somehow we also managed to pass a patisserie and couldn't resist buying our pudding.  

 


Today has been even warmer and without any wind, but by late afternoon the sun had gone in while on our walk.  Just deciding where to head to tomorrow....

    Enjoying your blog and envying your lack of wind! It’s been very blustery here, especially on the hills and north coast.

Canterbury P&R

 Monday 31 March 2025 Welcome to our new blog for 2025.  After a busy weekend, me leading our Monday Health Walk and John picking up our new car (same make/model Mazda, but white instead of red) this morning, we got the van packed and ready this afternoon to drive to Canterbury to stay the night before our ferry tomorrow morning.  It's a designated motorhome park here, cheaper than the campsite and a quick drive to Dover. (John putting on the screens for the cold night ahead.)

Neufchatel-en-Bray

 Tuesday 1 April Up early to drive to Dover for DFDS ferry.  More or less had the ship to ourselves - well, there were a few lorries, one caravan and maybe 3 other motorhomes and perhaps a few cars on the lower deck, but very few people in the lounge.  So we were off the ship very quickly and en route for Neufchatel-en-Bray.  No photos of here as we've stayed here many times before and apart from sitting out in the sunshine, we walked to the supermarket to buy a few provisions.  So we do apologise for rather boring first two blogs, but tomorrow we shall be moving on to pastures new and more sunshine.

Le Mele-sur-Sarthe

 Wednesday 2 April Another lovely sunny day (but still with a chilly wind), driving SW via Rouen to a Camping-Car Park at Le Mele-sur-Sarthe.  A very pretty spot with the river to one side of us and Lac du pays Melois on the other.  A beautiful walk around the lake this afternoon.  We love being in rural France, so we are beginning to relax ....     So much mistletoe around.  Michael and Eleanor - does this beat our Cheddar tree?? The little white dots in the above picture are the vans on the site.  Below is us very much zoomed in! The River Sarthe We plan to stay here for 2 nights, so will explore the village and surroundings tomorrow.  First stop will be the boulangerie!
