We have finished with Bordeaux & are off for Marseille, some 450 miles, early tomorrow. This will probably be posted at Toulouse en route tomorrow. Been a bit wet here today. Had lunch with the Elvington crowd, now at Merignac, the aerodrome here. They were considerably shaken to find I’d got to France before them & gave us hell of a time. However, shall not be at all sorry to get back to Marseille & some hot water – seems to be none in France, no fuel. No time to visit Spain on return trip. Photo is Vernet les Bain in Pyrenees
Love,
Hubby.
