Saturday 2nd September - Joinville

Another misty start to the day - definitely an autumnal feel to the mornings and evenings, which seems a bit unfair since August wasn't all that good!!  After a short discussion, we decided to stay another night and move on tomorrow.  So while Crew put the washing on Skip went to the supermarket (again!), booking a table for us in the restaurant for dinner on his way back.
We toyed with the idea of walking into Joinville but as it was a 2/3 km walk and there didn't seem to be a lot to see we decided against it.  Just our usual lunch then - unfortunately below deck as there was a chill wind gusting and the sun, when it came, was behind the trees.
Around 5 o'clock it started to rain.  Hoping it wouldn't  be heavy or last too long, Crew left the washing out but it soon became clear that it wasn't going to stop soon.  So everything was grabbed from the rails and just in time for then it pelted down very heavily!  Luckily it had dried up before our 8 o'clock dinner date.  The meal we had was only average - the scallops were overlooked and the duck was tough.  We have decided that the hotel in Chamouilley was far superior.
Our DVD of choice was Line of Duty - not too late to bed.
