Why? That wee squeal, that&#8217;s why. As we drove down the inland coastal roads this morning my shoulder&#8217;s tightened and tightened as we approached each\u00a0<em>rond-point<\/em>, since\u00a0Zagan would let out an almighty banshee-wail as we slowed down into each of them. &#8220;At the roundabout, take the 3rd exit, Avenoo dezz Etass Youuniss&#8221;, the satnav humorously pronounces the place names\u00a0in broad English. &#8220;Ignore her&#8221; Ju tells me, applying &#8216;tiny road&#8217; common sense to route planning. At about the same time an ear-busting SCCRRREEEEECCCCHHH comes from under Zagan&#8217;s bonnet and I wince, squinting my eyes, knowing mechanical stuff and toilets are my territory, so I&#8217;m going to have to do something about it.<\/p>\n<p>Since getting here I&#8217;ve got under the engine, removed the cover protecting the alternator from\u00a0road-rubbish and prodded at the fanbelt a bit. All looks OK to me, but although I&#8217;m male and therefore like to think I have a clue about these things, I don&#8217;t. A local fella wandered over as I gathered up my collection of spanners and sockets in a huff. &#8220;En panne?&#8221; he asked, hands in pockets. &#8220;Non, mais il fait du bruit&#8221; I hopefully replied, it&#8217;s just a bit of noise. He ambled off, agreeing that a mechanic is required. Job for Monday, along with the laundry, Monday&#8217;s not looking like a good day&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I&#8217;m feeling a bit justified in cracking open the ale, as we&#8217;ve all walked for 3 or 4 hours today, down the sea-less estuary into Le Crotoy, around the town&#8217;s roads and even into a couple of shops. Ju did the honours in Shop #1, stepping up to the &#8216;go on, you go and speak some French&#8217; challenge as I stood outside pointing at the massive ball of chocolate I fancied. As she opened the door, triumphantly clutching a boxed ball of chocolate and a sliced brown loaf, both of which she actually wanted rather than getting by default, I grabbed a snap of the cheekily-named <em>Divorc\u00e9<\/em> cake &#8211; two different cakes joined by cream fashioned to look like a diamond wedding ring!
