It was an easy journey from Somerset to Dover to
catch the P&O ferry. We were unlucky to catch one of the older
ships and it had the smelliest and dirtiest toilets that we have ever
had on P&O. That said, although the furnishings were a little
tired, the journey was comfortable.
As we often do, we chose to stop for the night at
the aire in the Leclerc hypermarket in Lumbres, close to St. Omer. We
arrived 10 minutes before it closed – just enough time to buy
supplies for our dinner.
The spot that we always park in gives us views
over a pastoral scene of trees and woodland but it is harvest time.
As dusk fell, amber flashing lights showed the positions of farm
vehicles heading on the roads to and from the farms. In the middle
distance a cloud of dust hovers above a combine harvester and as
darkness falls, we watch the headlights of the harvester and
accompanying tractor as they track up and down the field.
