In Leicester at the moment and NOT camping as too wet but managed to upload this photo of our tent with its adaptations i.e polythene cover and umbrella at the door. We have however had a lovely 6 days with Scottish cousins who spoiled us all and overfed us.

We get the ferry to France on the 10th September and are looking forward ro camping again and warmer climes. Also a cheaper cost of living I am told. We start at Eurodisney where we will be staying in a 2 bedroom apartment with our friend so a bit of luxury will be a nice change. We are planning on going to France and Spain and Switzerland to visit one of our past homestay students. We are then booked on the 'chunnel' back to UK on 24 October and fly to L.A on 31 October.
