Thursday 18th August 2011 Le Bassin Rond. Day off for shopping.


Hot and sunny, clouding over late afternoon with thunderstorms. Our neighbours were going on to Arques. We went shopping at Auchan in Esacadoeuvres near Cambrai. Nice store for an Auchan (not my favourite hyper) and we got all we went for plus extras. Nick had mentioned he wanted to get some smoked garlic from somewhere in Arques and wondered if it was too early yet – nope! They had a big pile of it in Auchan (farmed locally) and the unmistakable aroma filled the store. We ate a boxful of Viennoise on the way back, miniature croissants, pains au raisin and chocolate. I packed all the stuff away and Mike carried on with fixing stuff. He managed to do a permanent repair on the ‘fridge mains/12v power supply which means when (if ever) we’re on shore mains it will work on 240V.
