Today I have mostly been... driving down from Caen to near Confolens in France. Hood up motorway hack until Le Mans then a cross country saunter to a Loire Chateau... Chenonceau.... for a brilliant lunch in their Orangery restaurant. The chateau is drop dead gorgeous so we spent the early afternoon there. Then a cross country dash to the house, dodging showers. Got slightly wet once but had to admit defeat and pop the hood up for the last 40 mins as it poured down.
Car now has some extra squeaks and rattles so a thorough check needed before Angouleme at the weekend.
