There's Jack's folding wheelchair of doom, all the sports equipment, dirty laundry sack, levelling cheeses, silverscreen and blackout blinds, warning triangle etc etc inside the box and the washing up basket hanging off it (we found that in Aldi ... it's really a front basket from a pushbike ) handy to keep all the washing up together outside the van and carry it to/from the facilities if we're not doing it in the van

Ian.

im sure i drove past Chateau de la Rolandiere,Trogues, Loire Valley when i drove for an hour or so along the river...cant rember the road ( was it the d952)?

i really wish we had allowed more days in the Loire....we both said that our next trip would be a full week in that area. i think it has a great deal to offer

just checked...it was the d952 ....but it was not your Chateau....but one that looked the spit of it set back from the road

You can't see the Rolandiere from the road, it's down a long drive flanked by sweet chestnuts ... there's a miniature cut-out of it at the junction with the road instead

did you stay on the municipal at richelieu?

Nope, we were just having a bimble out for the day from the chateau. If it's anything like the rest of the town though it will be stunning.
