Woke up to yet more rain in Calais before we caught the SeaFrance ferry back to Dover. Tedious journey home round the M25 and up the M1 in occasional heavy showers. Judging by the buckets we left outside in the garden its been pretty wet in Leicester too, so we have not missed anything.
We did have some good days I suppose but any pleasant evenings seemed to coincide with being on Aires or parking areas. That may explain why I did not have a single barbeque and we only ate outside the van on 2 or 3 occasions. Meteo France declared 'un mois de mai extrêmement chaotique' with record rainfall in parts of Normandie and Brittany - so it was rather a disappointing 3 weeks compared to previous years weather. It did prove one thing however, that the investment in a slightly bigger and more comfortable motor home was very worthwhile. Surprised to find that we covered 2080 miles in the 22 days trip.
