The ferry home

After a lovely breakfast at the Chateau this morning we made a fairly quick getaway for the 300 km drive to Calais.  All was going well until just before St Omer where we headr there was a bouchon on the motorway.  We were quite early so we diverted to St. Omer for lunch where I had another nice Andouilette.  We also bought some nice French cheeses at a local deli to enjoy at home.

There was a massive queue for passport control and ferry check-in (about 3km!) so we missed the 4pm ferry but we were put on the 4.30pm ferry so no great loss.  It was good to see the white cliffs of Dover in the low sun.  We got home, via Sainburys for some food, around 8pm.
