"One half of the nation is mad - the other not very sound." Tobias Smollett




						Here we are at the house in Britain - all ready to go. This the car the police insisted was a yellow Saab convertible. 'Yes', I thought, 'and its converted into a Chrysler Voyager'. Perhaps "Chubby" needed to have an eye test - or perhaps the lights in the dark had played tricks on him. And there's the trailer tent! I hadn't even erected the thing properly before we left - in case it got wet. I only discovered later that the canvas should get a good soaking before use; apparently, it makes it waterproof.



				Britain way back over the horizon. France, and our first great meal, only hours away. But the weather was not looking kind - and my head was not being kind either. Those extra drinks, while reminiscing about the events that led to our decision to escape Britain, were taking their toll.



				Jesse and Josh making sure the Captain knew where we were headed - France!
