Day 7 La Selle Craonnaise to Vern d'Anjou via Renaze 38km

Up early conscious of no ability to have porridge or a cup of tea! Back to Selle but shops still shut at 8.30 therefore headed to Rezere for sustenance and gas canisters YAY to be found at a kind of B&Q - blocmarche for future reference. Cycled then to Segre, pretty town with an office de tourisme that even exceeded friendliness stakes previously encountered, even offered us a nice shady spot for a picnic behind the office!!!!! We declined but how nice. Identified a campsite about 10km away down an orange road (they are OK) but so very nearly got on a horrid red road (they are MAL). Anyway lovely straight undulating road to Vern and the municipal campsite. A bit bizzare just a few campers parked on the side of a football pitch. We must have looked like locals as some kids asked us how to get into the tennis courts. No sign of an accuel so wandered about and then approached by a lady from one of the caravans. She luckily had the organiser on touch dial, though no answer and just told us to pick a spot. 30 Mins later another super friendly chap and a women in high viz approached us, obviously the patron and for some reason the grounds person???? Lots of handshaking with both and the deal was done 4euros and 80cents!!!!!! Oh my lord, I know its basic but wow, very happy. Just have shopped for the evening meal going to put mini steamer to test and have some veggies and salmon, picture to follow hopefully.

Steamer activity needs some working on, doesn't cook as at home but nice to have veggies, though in stages:-) Dave painted for the first time tonight.
