In which Husband has a good idea

Next year to celebrate our fortieth wedding anniversary Husband has suggested recreating our honeymoon. Sort of.

For our actual honeymoon we drove to the south of France in my Morris Traveller and camped; for the recreation we will stay in style - with Eurocamp. We took several Eurocamp holidays when the children were young. Basically you travel to the camp site where a ready-erected large well-equipped tent is waiting for you. They were very relaxing and enjoyable holidays although I did say if we went again I'd want a caravan (with its own toilet). It seems that most of the sites Husband is investigating have caravans but, 'we may have to stay in tents on one or two.' Hm, we'll see how many that one or two becomes.

But anyway I think it's a brilliant idea, travelling at a slower pace - and without children to be entertained in the back of the car - taking our time seeing France. 

I approve.

And with a bit of luck we won't come back from holiday on the verge of divorce this time. 

I didn't cope well with the heat and then the Moggy developed a leak in its radiator. That combined with the very hot weather meant not only stopping every few miles to top up her water but having to have the heating on in the car at full blast to reduce heat on the engine. Stress levels reached previously unheard-of peaks.

P.S. We actually spent the first night of our married life in the wonderfully glamorous steel-town of Port Talbot, ten miles up the road.
