After 20 days in France, (with a mixed reception) (brexit) and good weather and seeing several zeds (all British) I have been hankering to get back and go for a drive.. I left you with decent weather.. And now I have 12c and heavy cloud.. Boo hoo :(
If you ever think I'm off my rocker.. Just put me back in it and walk away... It's the kindest thing
My wife says I never listen - or something like that.

Ah nice! I'm heading down to France in my zed for a mates wedding later this week and kicking about for a few more days afterwards - Can't wait to have the big GB sticker on the back and the brexit abuse!

Not taken the zed on a proper road trip yet so looking forward to it. Hopefully I'll bring the weather back for all....

Interesting. I spend 6 months of the year in the Correze near Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne and none of the French locals have mentioned Brexit. If you meet a Brit then sometimes it comes up. To be honest I don’t think most of the French in this area give a fig one way or the other. I’ve always found the locals pleasant and helpful but it is a country area. Maybe it’s different in the big cities.

There are a few French Zeds over here but you don’t see many. There were 2 in Beaulieu about 2 weeks ago one local and the other from the Calais region. Forecast for today is sunny and 30 degrees! 😎

Still waiting for the Tickets to come if they come before we go away, you can have a look at it. Don’t know how soon they dispatch the tickets, if not we can arrange another way, if you still want them of course
