Thursday 17th March 2010 Roanne


Dutch barge Quo Vadis left the basin at Roanne. Mike walked to the Post Office to collect his Carte Grise for the moped then we drove to Carrefour at Mably, ordered the registration plate and went shopping while the guy made the plate up for him. It cost 16€ and looked very smart BP 89 Z, nothing like car registration plates and no department number on it. Back home for lunch. Did a last load of washing and I phoned to book the lock for 10.00 a.m. the next day and helped Mike make brackets to attach the new plate to the moped’s carrier. A new Circus arrived, loudly; lorry after lorry driving slowly down the road opposite with music blaring from loudspeakers and sirens going. After dinner we grabbed a bottle of cremant de Loire and went next door for a drink with our neighbours. The cremant wasn’t very good, a bit sour but Pauline’s sloe gin was excellent.
