Day 9

Well, the final day has come for us to leave Wiadring and the farm that had been our home for the past seven days.




We got up early and were about to leave at 7.30am when our hostess came out with two boxes of eggs for us!  I was delighted  and will look forward to having them when we get home.


The weather was dreadful, torrential rain for much of the journey. That, together with the constant  stretches of roadworks, made the journey difficult to say the least. The services were all busy and we even saw a coach from Barnsley!

The drive wasn't tiring and we had both Disco Sally and TomTom Sally working together, but I didn't trust either of them! In the end we switched the latter off, as she kept losing the GPS signal. 

We arrived at the fuel station in Luxembourg after travelling for eight hours. We then had another 90 mins to go before we got to our bed for the night in Les Hayons, Belgium. 

We finally arrived at 5.15 pm, a journey of nearly ten hours. The B&B, Les Anges, is lovely and decorated in the distressed French style. The owner is very nice and had a pot of tea for us to have with our extra Cafe Schmid cake. We brought a slice for our friend P and he came to see us once we had settled in. We had a lovely evening, just chatting, which was great because we hadn't had time when we met last year. P is taking us out for the day tomorrow, he's arranged a 'programme' for us!!!

When he left we retired for the night and watched TV on the internet, just to relax after such a long day. I think we will both sleep well tonight!

No photos today, put there will be plenty from tomorrow's adventure!
