What a difference two weeks makes!

Can't quite believe it – we woke to a blue sky and it's been dry and reasonably warm all day. After a trouble-free journey, we are now back at Les Andelys (where we were two weeks ago) and everything looks very different in the sunshine. We decided to walk into the old town this afternoon along the banks of the Seine at first. Quite a few large cargo-carrying barges went past and there was one huge river cruising boat moored at the quayside. From the river we cut through into the old town, which is very pretty (Norman half-timbered style) and has plenty of facilities, including, to my delight, a creperie, so we had dessert ahead of our main course. The town, and the area, probably deserve greater investigation; we (like many others) are only using it as a stopover to and from destinations further south.
