Well after a great trip - i have returned! Had a scortching heat of 35 deg each day and nicely balanced with a swimming pool at perfect temperature each day.
We set off at 11:30 into the night and arrived at Dover around 1:45am and then caught our ferry to arrive in Dunkerque at around 4ish.
Even though i knew we were staying at this nice house for a few nights, little did i know that the guy who owned the house is a Test Pilot for Airbus and is the Project Leader for the cockpit of the A380! So we had a good chat about the A380 and much more that i cant release lol (sorry) - also he is flying the A380 at the Farnborough airshow in a week or two.
However back onto the pics, here is the first pic of an early day in france!

Tom Hunter engaged in a conversation with a Deaf and senile woman as we are trying to get some directions, but she is more content in telling us her life story.
