Hi Herman it was brilliant! 
Travelled down through Belgium and Luxemburg into France, then hit the really hot weather (36 C plus and 28c at night), then down the French south coast into Spain. The weather was fabulous, the better half and the dogs enjoyed it, and everything was so cheap! Wine at 1.20 euros a glass, 2 course meal of the day for 2 including beer/wine for 20 euros. The camp site we stayed longest in at Mazarron (Bolnuevo) was only 12.85 euros per day including electricity, so we stayed there nearly 6 weeks. Weather coming back was terrible though and I'm glad my kids put the heating on before we came back.
Yes we have turned a sort of dusky brown from the sun and feel much healthier for it, despite all the food and drink I managed to lose 7 pounds which is making the wife cross because I think she found it plus some!!
Anyway I just ordered my 3d printer and am hoping it's here this week, I have to construct a heavy duty level workbench to put it on so it's kept nice and stable so that will keep me busy.
Best regards to all and look forward to getting my projects moving again.
