Running a French Holiday Gite in Rural Brittany

Forgot the headlights

We're off to our Gite in Brittany again for half term holiday.

All was a bit chaotic with packing the car and getting ready, made considerably harder because I have been away with work all week including today when I was in Winchester. Long drive back home to Bedfordshire, collect the family and then drive down to Dover - all in the rush hour traffic of course!

En-route to the port I remembered that we hadn't got anything to adapt the headlights from left to right hand drive for driving in France.

Oh well resigned myself to buying adaptors at no doubt an inflated price on the ferry.

Fortunately we got to Dover with half an hour to spare so were able to go and find some shops. Thanks to Asda we were able to buy a roll of thick black gaffer tape for £2 which did the job perfectly.

Happy days!
