We’re almost at the end of our first day at LM 2010 and what a splendid day it has been. To recap, we met Joey at Portsmouth around 21.00 last night and it was as if he’d never been away. His irritating Canadian accent (only kidding !!) has become milder over the last 24 hours and he almost sounds normal now !
Anyway, we had a few Murphy’s (probably a few more than was wise) and eventually retired to our palatial cabin a little later than planned. None of us heard the ‘wakey-wakey’ music that comes on to tell us we’re almost at the port (We’re not convinced that they ever played it but we would say that….) but we were able to throw some clothes on and run down to the SDK to get her off the deck and drive away.
We arrived in Le Mans around 10.00 and went for fuel and to a new Carrefour Market for some beers and some croissants for breakfast (Joey’s idea and what a good one !)
After a quick trip to the ‘usual’ Super U for wine for me we turned up at our Houx Annexe pitches around 13.00 and proceeded to unpack and set up. We’re in a completely different part this year with actual, real life grass !!
Drinks in the East Wing
Coupled with lunch we spent the day pottering around and setting up the gear including the satellite dish – it really works ! We need some further fine-tuning to get the most out of it but it should be good to watch the England game on Saturday.
Beef Rendang for our evening meal (preceded by Beatles Rock Band) and we’re now sat in the SDK putting the world to rights and drinking port….what, what ?
Off out on the bikes tomorrow……….
