Not sure if anyone wants to know this...but its currently raining outside my bedroom window...we're staying as always with a charming elderly french couple in their house just at the back of the exposition. and this mornings weather report in le maine had darkish clouds covering this area for the next few days. sorry ayse...
luckily the track avoided the huge downpour we met halfway between rouen and alencon, so bad we had to stop for five minutes. oh and one tip if you're driving down on that new road, keep an eagle eye out for the speed limit drops from 130 down to 90...
