Shopping in France

We went to France earlier this month, we drove down to Dover and took the car on the ferry accross to Calais. We'd been meaning to do it for 6 years, and are embarassed at how easy the trip was. We are now planning to go back grocery shopping! Yes, you heard us, we're going to go accross there to shop. Basically everything is cheaper there, they have amazing hypermarkets and their fresh produce, dairy and meat leave England for dead. As you may remember, foreign supermarkets are something I love and I wasn't disappointed. We behaved quite well as we didn't think to take an Esky/coolbox but I'm thrilled that we're going back again.

We're probably going to go with Chrissie and Andy, Chrissie wants to hire a big "f**k off car" as neither of ours are large enough she believes - she may be worse than me!!

We bought a box of wine as it was so cheap, above is what we got. The funny thing is, we couldn't decide on what to get. It's all French wine, we didn't recognise any of the wineries, so we went for a very scientific choice. We chose the above because the name sounded like Margaret - so Mum, lucky for you the wine is nice!! We'd have been blaming you if it wasn't!!

Next trip back I'll be getting boxes of champagne too!!
