Honfleur

22nd March

WHERE is that water coming from?? Leaking out from under the units as it did before. Hopefully it is just my bodgeit tape that held the pipe in place just needs renewing. NO, there is a leak in the sink tap. We try to remove it to have a better look, but because we have spent hours organising everything domestically to the finite detail, we have completely left out the tools we might need for the trip. Monsieur, avez- vous une spanner comme ca. I show him the size I need with my finger and thumb. He lends me a plumbers tool, which won't work. I phone The dealer in England. He says: have you left the pump on all the time. Me: Well yes, we are living it all the time and need water all the time. Him: well it's not designed for that blah, blah, could have had a flood, blah blah. When you leave the van blah, etc. Probably need a new tap. Me: Thanks very much. Bye. We now keep the water pump OFF, and it is a two man job to get water. One of us stands at the tap and says GO, the other flicks the switch, we get 3/4 of the water needed, and then switch off the pump and drain the rest of it into the basin. What a Pallaver. The quality of these fittings is really poor. Luckily we are nearing the end of the trip after which poor Wishstream will go to the dealer in Norfolk for a make and mend session I fear.

It is very hot today, and Jc and I take it in turns to go and have a look round the town. Lots of expensive clothes, and jewellery and I like it.
