Up at five. Light already, dry but grim and grey matching our mood. Finished off the last of the packing and set off around 6.30 a.m. Mike drove the length of Belgium, into France and straight to the Carrefour in Dunkerque. Filled the fuel tank and waited ten minutes for the supermarket to open its doors at 8.30 a.m. Bought some bubbly for my brother’s wedding party. On to the ferry at 9.30 a.m. and it left five minutes before ten. There were lots of campervans and cars pulling caravans plus more cars than we get during our usual winter trips. Found a space by the front window and settled down. Straight up the motorway via the usual route to Mike’s Mum’s. More bad news as Mike’s cousin, who was in hospital after collapsing at home, was not expected to recover (she died on the 26th.)
