Woke up this morning to find its -4C outside....Brrrr cosy in the bus though :-)
3rd Jan 2009 - Happy New Year everyone
The Journey Home....Its weird being on the road again after being on the camp site for so long. We're expecting to see Eric and Gill (our UK neighbours on the Spainish Campsite) when we step out of the motorhome on the campsites on the way home (Maggie misses you guys). I was going to knock on your door to see if you wanted some more Mulled Wine but ended up in the bush....Its 0.7C Outside here in Clermont Ferrand....Brrrrr
Maggie...excited to be on the road again
A big Sat-dish in France will get you a top notch signal :-)
Mid France.... brrrrr frozen trees
In France....we come across some snow in an Aire...she loves snow
The weather in France soon improves...cold but very clear...very nice
Back over the Millau Bridge
"Everywhere I look, things remind me of her" - which movie? :-)
We enter France... dull and grey.. not so "Bonjour"
Maggie spots the camera on the floor
Someones starting to laugh a lot
Anyone seen the "ConeHeads" movie?
This is a knitted top a German neighbour on the campsite kindly knitted for Molly.

An Xmas present to Molly from our great UK campsite neighbours.
Thanks Eric & Gill ( & hooligan Holly - Woof) :-)
Xmas brekkie for Molly, Maggie chills in the shade, not impressed cos she's on her lead.
The Champers will be gone before the ice melts
Having a nap before the Queens speech, during the Queens speech and after the Queens speech... ZZZzzzzz
Although not impressed with her xmas hat..no one is left out...Just get the picture taken and get this hat off me dad!

Local Town...
18th Dec 2008
Lots of relaxing in the shade today
Followed by a brief bounce in the chair, before going back in the shade
Another hard day in the office
Not a cloud in the sky all day, perfect December day :-)
22C better than the forecast...time for a cold one
Temp peaked at 24C - Maggie was getting a bit hot and found some shade to hide under
but not until she had finished sunbathing first
I wonder who these belong to?
DAY 7-12 (17th Dec 2008)
Time is flying by. This is our local forecast. Even though these temperatures are in the shade, when the suns out its pretty warm :-)
22C - YAY! Good old BBC weather , miles out as usual.
Not much to report here. Molly is growing!
Having a bad hair day?
Sun set from the bus window
Home from home!
Molly already for evening walkies. She seems to be getting bigger by the day, smiling lots and become very aware of her surroundings.
I think someone is a little tired
Another great dawn walk on the beach
The moon, closest for 15 years, 10% bigger & 30% brighter, the camera didnt cope well with taking a clear picture.
Hello "the Molster!"
DAY 6
The campsite!
Bath time....Mollys new Mobile Bath
Most people on the site have xmas lights up....we joined them
Someones happy :-)
Maggie....
Then Maggie collects some sand to drop around the campsite
Trying to unpack and settle in!
Molly relaxes to MTV
Smiley!
Yawns...just woken up
Walkies at sun rise
Sunrise
Maggie is first on the beach
Day 5
Our home.....
View Larger Map
Maggie checks out the sea....everyone is happy
Molly checks out the beach
We have arrived....and the temperature is perfect
Into the south of Spain.....yey
dropped it down a gear, pedal to the metal...dont break down here ...eek
The book said this camp site was by the sea....true...but it lacked the details of the 20 foot flood bank. Our motorhome (left) ...sea (right) ....hadrians wall.... central... after one nights rest....we hit the road once more
Central Spain....the hunt goes on for a camp site to stay for the New Year...but another nights rain, heavy rain, big puddles
Day 4
Night 3....it rained heavily all night...next next morning people were leaving and heading south. We checked the forecast, it seemed the weather in the south is better, a lot better, we packed up and hit the road.....
We finally arrived at our campsite. The location is great....right by the sea side, big site, bar, shop, restaurant...we stayed here two nights.
Maggie likes the location of the motorhome
Day 2 + 3
We entered Northern Spain ....cloudy but warmer...mild!
Barcelona appearred on the road signs....yey! Spain approaches....
Time to stop for a cuppa.... Yorkshire tea of course :-)
After passing over the snow, and dropping down towards the Mediterranean, we noticed the trees still had leaves, winter hadnt reached here yet...it was getting warmer...until you wind the window down.... Brrrrrr
We climbed and climed...up up up...snow
.....the road kept going up....up...up
Can you spot the motorhome (top right)
Christmas on the Millau Bridge
Maggie posing for a photo!
The next morning on the Campsite in Clermont Ferrand...a very quiet camp site.
The next morning we got to see the campsite in the day light...I imagine it would be nice in summer when the pool is open...gets busy apparently. There was a heavy frost, but we were toasty in the motorhome.
Molly....not impressed with France?
Cool outside, crank up that radiator
A quick wander around a french Aire to stretch Mollys legs
Our home.....
