We are happy to be away from the momentous events in the UK today although the downside is that we were taken hostage at 6am this morning and the French ransom demand was for the resignation of David Cameron! Fortunately, an early agreement was reached - that's the reason David came out into Downing Street just after 8am this morning and we have now been guaranteed safe passage home. We are leaving early in the morning.
No political comment from me in any way, shape or form but whatever happens going forwards, I am proud of our democracy and think myself lucky that I don't live in North Korea. End of.
And so we reach our final full and happily, sun-filled day in the Drôme. I'm writing this at 7pm prior to dining in the campsite restaurant and the temperature is still in excess of 30C.
I had intended to post a full dispatch today but what, with dining out and then packing up, time has run out on me but I will post one final dispatch before our arrival home on Sunday night.
Hopefully, we will enjoy safe passage heading North tomorrow and not be met by marauding bands of French!
The funniest thing today was when I asked a French couple about the result and the husband said and I translate, "we should have beaten Switzerland by two clear goals!" C'est la vie as they say in Rumania.
A couple of photos attached merely to highlight the continuing great weather.
