Gloriously empty! No nasty dogs, no nasty tossers Gloriously empty!

No nasty dogs, no nasty tossers.

Hurrah.

We are stopping.

Like it here but it's a pity Les Forges can't open.

Weather better up here. Still wound up by the tos Weather better up here.

Still wound up by the tosser who wouldn't leash his nasty dogs and called me a poutain. Wish my French swearing was better than it is. It's good enough to know what he said but not do good that I can retort at need 😉

Found a very quiet SuperU and picked up some soothing empty calories with which to smooth our ruffled feathers 

We're going to Castets.

Well, that should have been a lovely stop. Only on Well, that should have been a lovely stop. Only one van in when we set off and three when we arrived... according to CCP. But we arrived to find several more and apparently parked up long term having circumvented the entry system. Well, that's their business and that of CCP. What's our business is people who turn out their aggressive dogs unattended and refuse to leash them on request. We were almost one cat short there...

As S said, nothing to be done. They don't pay, they have no contract and therefore don't have to abide by the rules that we have to follow.

It's a bugger but off we go again. Don't know where, yet.

#livereportinfromtheroad #france #2021
Not a great start to our day today. We decided to Not a great start to our day today. We decided to stay at Labenne then we changed our minds. Then we could not leave because CCP thought that we had insufficient funds, even though we had topped up by 80€ last night.

Eventually we got away. Grey today and feeling chilly after the recent good weather.

Not going far and staying close to the sea.

Even less of a view this morning. Difficult night Even less of a view this morning.

Difficult night, with Nell and Dusty unsettled by cats prowling and yowling.

We are off to the seaside now.

Arrived at destination. No sign of the mountains. Arrived at destination. No sign of the mountains. Every sign of a load of fetal cats though. Beautiful as they are, we wonder if we should move on for Dusty's benefit.

Private Aire with knockout views (normally) and hook-ups. Apparently the farmer is very friendly and there is beef to be bought.

We have poor air quality today so views of the Pyr We have poor air quality today so views of the Pyrenees are going to be impaired. We are enjoying the drive though,on an all but deserted road.

Leclerc was awful but we secured.the desired cat litter, plus a back up bag for later. We also successfully changed a €100 and gained sufficient change to pay for tonight's intended stop.

Bought some Brandade de Morue and some meatballs in Moroccan sauce for quick and easy meals when needed. Secured some of the coffee pods that we have had trouble in sourcing recently so overall the outing was probably worth the hassle.

Oh and Guinness! 6 cans for under 5€.

Sorted.

#livereportingfromtheroad #france #2021
Not totally behind the idea of moving on after onl Not totally behind the idea of moving on after only one night but Riscle had little to commend it and Dusty was becoming strung out and had started biting.

Longer drive today as we are in a CCP desert and most campsites have yet to open.

Supermarket first stop. We are on a continuing desperate search for crystal cat litter.

I seem to have lost the ability to share IG posts to the Two Snails FB page.

Dusty won't be in the footwell for long. As soon as the engine starts he'll be under the duvet.

This is his fourth trip loose and he's being very good indeed. This time we even left his cage at home. We do have a carrier though, just in case of need.

It's busy! 

The good news is that work has been done and there are now more than five hard standings and we don't have to park in the mud.

Just settling in and waiting for the farm produce shop to open. We fancy a piece of meat for Cobbing tonight.

Nell is having a toilet break, Dusty is asleep under the duvet.
