Grey and cold, but only a few spots of rain. We went by car to find the Carrefour hypermarket in Mably on the outskirts of Roanne. Lucy GPS found it easily for us and we went through lots of small farming villages in the heart of Charollais cattle country. Had a look round for things we had been considering buying, like a new TV aerial (44€!) - I liked the omni-directional one; then collected the groceries, including two jars of Mike’s favourite ginger jam (used to be called marmalade!). Back for a late lunch. A large campervan, French with local 42 plates, had parked opposite the boat about 50m away by the trees. After lunch the guy from the camper came across to tell Mike that there was an electricity supply. We’d missed it! And it was a whopping 32 Amps for each of two, two-pin, sockets. We reeled out the long cable, which astounded Mike as it almost reached the supply point, but we had to add another cable anyway with the right connector. The chap from the camper said it was a good supply and he was running his heating as it was going to be a cold night. Connected up one of our small panel heaters to heat the bedroom so that made it quite cosy without lighting the central heating.
