FR17 - 95 days to go

Well that was easy.  Very easy in fact.  The final balance paid on the Dordogne week online on Eurocamp's website.

Whether Reggie comes with us or not we are now paid up.  We had to pay for him as an extra to the normal rental so that they can clean the place. I'd expect that they would be efficient with their cleaning anyway and as they are "dog friendly" they would have certain units that would be let for dogs and others that were for humans only.

Although having camped early and late season with Eurocamp and Canvas Holidays in the past, but in large frame tents rather than mobile homes, I have to say that the human visitors aren't all working to the same standards of cleanliness and decency as me.  Some of the damage to fabric of the tents looked to be ignorance rather than just accidental.

I have ordered the Tesco vouchers to cover the cost of the Eurotunnel crossing.  As usual we'll have to pay cash for Reggie to have his passport checked. But it still means that shopping at Tesco and using their loyalty card has a benefit.

In May the fare for a car is in the region of £160 return. We earn the rewards by using the Tesco Clubcard Mastercard as often as possible instead of using cash or debit cards. Sometimes people look askance as you pay for things with the credit card for small amounts but it all adds up. Need to book that ASAP.  

Just checked the weather and found a site that looks pretty useful for wherever you go: http://www.holiday-weather.com/dordogne/averages/may/
