Phew, what a hectic month this is! We went to Calais last weekend (9th December) with our good friends. We were delayed 2 hours getting on the tunnel so it put everything out for the time we had there, we rushed dinner in Flunches in the Auchan, then caught a bus into town and saw the amazing lights. We had heard so much about the Christmas lights in Calais and they really are worth seeing. Coming from a town that is struggling with it's lights each year,we really appreciated this! We stayed in the B&B as always, and at breakfast next day saw Alain, he quickly got a jug of milk (in May he had teased Barry about the milk) He is the most friendly, jolly person you could wish to meet and is constantly laughing! We went into town again on Saturday morning and looked at the market, did our shoppping in the Auchan after dinner and decided to try and get an earlier tunnel crossing, so Barry drove to the terminal 3 hours early and we got put on an earlier one. We don't go to Calais for the booze, we're not particularly big alcohol drinkers anyway, we go because we love France and it's the cheapest way we can get a quick fix before our main holiday in the summer lol!! We did buy a little wine, but mostly we bought orange juice, apple juice, lots of pork which is so much cheaper there, some bread, cheese etc..... Already saving for the next one now. Let's see which picture I can upload to give you a taster of the beautiful lightsone part of Calais
