What a crap day was day 3 . Drizzle nearly all day .
The goats do not have an undercoat so will not venture out in the rain .
I always wanted to keep goats , and we thought they would help to keep the land tidy . But did you know goats would rather eat bushes and trees ? We did not .
Anyway by asking at the animal feed store we found a breeder who kept goats for their milk and needed homes for his surplus young . We purchased 2 female goats about three weeks old . Sisters . More about them later . Anyway looking after the animals , keeping them dry , and feeding them is difficult but well worth it .
Day 4 we got up to sunshine and mist .
The animals were a lot happier . We went into the village for post and fresh bread and then called at our friends for coffee.
When we got back , fed the dogs , then fed and checked the other animals and low and behold Wanda was in the pig sty , sat next to the pig , George , and kindly laid another egg .
Plenty of solar energy today and those pallets are keeping us warm .

Our journey continued .
Finally on the train we looked a right sight . Like refugees .
We did not realise that so many people would wander up and down the train and every time they went passed us Tasha barked . Happy days . We had no trouble at the French border and were soon on or way . We planned to use the motorways all the way to Spain . Costly but more direct . But we had a problem . A faulty immobilizer . We also decided to do 4 hour stints and at our first stop the van would not start . Hey Ho !
May the force be with you . It wasn't with us .
