Stella Plage

Thursday 09/07/20

Bokkie is sheltering behind the dunes at Stella Plage.  We've been here before (click here) as it's a convenient distance from Calais, we seem to remember the wind howling last time as well.

We travelled a different route to the way we usually do, sticking to the coast a bit closer and it was a lovely drive.  We settled into a spot in between all the other motorhomes and waited for the drizzle to lift before heading out for a walk.  The sea is brown and angry but it doesn't seem to be putting the determined kids off enjoying themselves.  We found a lovely trail through the dunes and spotted some wild goats along the way.

Very pretty Sea Holly growing on the dunes

I think we are definitely going to miss the quiet French roads.

We have filled in the forms we think we need to get back to the UK so we'll see how things go.  We're visiting family and friends, as well as doing quite a few house-sits in the UK for the next couple of months - and will then head back to France by the end of September.
