The first day was a shopping morning and overcast so apart from cleaning the stables I did now,t .
The next day it rained all day . Serviced the generators as we were going to need them later .

Today is wall to wall blue sky . What a difference . Shopping this morning and coffee with friends . Mucking out this afternoon and I now put the manure on the edge of our land and put a sign next to it saying gratis {free } . Since then it goes quite quickly .
The man on the next grove to us is pruning his olive trees . Then with an axe he gets all the firewood he can from it this leaves small prunings which he will burn or shred . I asked him if I could have some for the animals and he said yes and helped me throw them over the fence into the paddock . So they are all munching happily .
Yesterday we called at the animal feed warehouse , and bought a bale of alfalfa and mixed horse food . I have old paella dishes scattered about and this allows everyone to get a share.
I try and give a mixed diet and will explain later .
Bought the wife a plant for valentines day , tomorrow .Plus we saw and bought a small white vase but with artificial lily of the valley in it . My mother's favourite .

Back to the journey .
We rang our son in England and he told us to waggle the wires under the dash board . We did this and off we went . Very technical .
The first peage was Reims , and we arrived at 13.00 hrs and paid 27 euros . From then on we only stopped the engine at diesel and sleep stops . When we stopped for coffee and wees we took it in turns and kept the engine running . Through France we travelled , all night and all day , with 4 hour driving stints and with two hour sleep stops and animal walks . Crossing our fingers every time we started the engine . Then at last the Spanish border came into view .
