Travelling on south today and left Bill & Bens home in cold rain. Weather started to improve and hey! what do you know, it's lunch time and there's a parking spot right under the ramparts of William the Conquerers pad at Falaise. Sure is some pad too although it's sort of falling down in places. I see he has the builders on site doing a bit of restoration though.
I wonder. If the circus had come to town in 1066 and parked next door and grazed their camels on his nice green spaces would it have changed things? Dammed if I would have invaded England. I'd have wanted those pesky camels off my patch a bit pronto. That's where my troops would have gone! (Ed;- original blog entry had photo of large circus parked adjacent the castle walls.)
While walking round the outside of the castle we found a lovely carved plaque commemorating his conquests including England. There was a beautiful clear spring pool at its base and room to park Sadie. Sooo .... My water tank is now brimming full of Wills water. Y'know. Apart from a bit of rape, plunder and the odd conquest he seems to be an OK guy to me. Lovely water!!

A full water tank?????? Is that not sacrilege in motorhome circles?
It does seem to be frowned upon yes. All to do with weight and use of fuel. With diesel being much cheaper here and Sadie settling in at 25 mls per gallon empty or full I now just fill up if an available option presents itself.
