Passed my driving test again!

On the 7th of March I took the C1+E driving test for vehicles over 3.5tonnes towing a trailer and passed it with only two minors. As you can imagine I am pretty pleased with myself not least because this now means we can head for France with our car in tow. We have a couple of engagements before we can leave however. A friend of ours is getting married in May, and we have been invited to the wedding, then there is a reunion of Tricia's old work colleagues in early June followed by a reunion of my ex-RAF colleagues at the end of June. We have been making plans about the route we will take and will probably stay in France for a while. I have recently discovered that my ancestors came from Belpech near Toulouse, so I intend to do some searching of the church yards to see if any can be found. Then we will move further east and south to try and rendezvous with friends from Germany who have a holiday home on the Mediterranean coast. After that it will be south into Spain and a leisurely tour around the coast. If we get bored there then it will be back through France and on into Italy as we still have a date with a 10km zip wire (). We intend being back in the UK in March 2013 to get the vehicles MOT'd and serviced and after a few weeks of visiting friends and relatives will be off again for another trip. That is the tentative plan. It will be interesting to look back and see if we we achieved any of it.
