A village called Broglie

Another even longer drive of 250 miles has taken us within 180 miles of Calais. Started looking for aires at about 6pm and found a very likely candidate outside a fire station near an oldy worldy village called La Sap. Just about to 'settle in' when the firemen (and women) came out and started doing circuit training along side the parking area accompanied by music from a portable CD player.- 'time to go said Zebedee'. Found an even nicer village 20km further on called Broglie with an aire on the site of an old railway station. The station buildings are now refurbished as the local library and the goods yard is a landscaped aire for 8 camping cars. Very nice for 5 euros, has security guard, toilets, water and just a short stroll for fresh bread in the morning, with friendly neverlanders and french motorhomers for company as a bonus. However, its a bit cool this evening. I think we must be getting close to England.
