On the road again - campsite in St.Suzanne
We started off on the road towards Saumur, took the Angers road, Longué, Baugé, La Flèche. We stopped at a Routiers for lunch, sat next to les chauffeurs d’un tracteur, one of whom spoke English, had taken it for 7 years - he and his other driver, take near etc to Italy, England etc and brings back vegetables and fruit. He lives near La Rochelle. We had a very interesting time - the food was good too! Afterwards we made our way to St.Suzanne and found the campsite, on the hill - beautiful facilities and in the soleil (quite a stiff breeze though) to write my log for the past two days - and so to knitting.
