What, where and how

OK guys since we are back what have you been doing, where have you been and how's everything. We did our usual skiing run in February to France but had to go to a different place as Madame sold the site to a guy to build a hotel. We are currently in Spain, done 4 weeks with one to go. We've taken in Gibraltar, Ronda, Setenil, Granada and most popular resorts along the coast to Sitges where we are currently. Dont know if we will do Barcelona. The van has been behaving except I couldn't get the drivers window up. I rang recovery asking for a mechanic and they sent a tow truck with a guy who had no mechanical knowledge. Didn't use him and eventually took the motor out and have the window taped up. I only realised when I had it done there was an easier way to disconnect the glass but Iwas in a panic. Diesel is cheap around 1.25/1.29 and I'm using CC sites. Done about 600 miles now on the scooter but found the roundabouts at Ronda like ice, had a few front wheel skids with one major wobble at a paticularly slippy one where I was touching cloth trying to recover. Only second time in Spain in years and find the crossings and road systems with the one way systems a pain in the larger towns. There seems to be a crossing every 30/40 yards, some raised and some not. Oh yes forgot how hot it was

Just on the Stena Vision now coming back from Cherbourg. We were in the Vendee for about 4 weeks , the weather was mixed but better than home. Successfully avoided travelling during the strikes in France , but looks like there's more to come. The boat is virtually empty, I suppose Stena won't be worried as they finish this route at the end of the month. Spent the last few nights in Pontorson to get the dog treated , 54€ . Diesel prices ranged from over 2€ on Autoroute to 1.58 at Pontorson.
