We left Dublin on Monday, returned our hire car to the airport and flew to Paris, where we picked up our hire car at the airport and headed straight out to Pozieres. It wasn't as bad as I expected it would be, after a few roundabouts, concentrating very carefully keeping me in the middle of the lane and Amy on the kerbside, it was pretty much straight up the motorway for 120 km or so then off onto country roads to Butterworth Farm at Pozieres. It was a relief to get there though but were able to relax in this lovely place. This is my 4th stay here, so it was lovely to see John and Chantel again and we feel very much at home. After relaxing and unpacking and chatting for a bit we headed into Albert for dinner at the Corner Pub. It had been recommended we try the Creme Brulee made with poppy seed oil, so we obeyed our instructions and were pleased we did it was delicious. After getting back to Butterworth Farm we went for a bit of a wander around the village.
