The bowels are much better thank you for asking
Returning to the hoteI asked Monsieur abouut the paper and getting the weather forecast out of it. Sadly his reply did not invlove giving me the paper and was a lengthy tirade with the word pleut liberally scattered through it. I thanked him and went and packed.

But when you finally get through the trash you find the fabulous cathedral, apparently the largest in Europe. I wandered around this for a spell then retired for a coffee and a call to Seafrance about getting an earlier ferry but, despite my call being important to them, (they get a clip of what I pay apparently) they never answered.
There was not much alternative but to push on despite much wind on Peage. The people in the Calais Seafrance office were most helpful and put me on the next ferry.

A last minute change of plan saw me riding straight into London to stay with my daughter at her Bar on london Bridge. Doreen has this down as a drive through the East End, Blackwall Tunnel and other parts, my how things have changed, hardly for the better. Mr Brown would do well to listen to the House of Lords and limit immigration a bit.
Finally arrived at the bar and parked in the nearby parking building, only £12 per day, good value in this part of the world!
Phew!
