A grey start to the UK day as the ferry approached the Portsmouth naval dockyard. Everything seems grey coming back into the UK though some if that may just be down to the fact that my phone is still in night mode and the grimy windows on the boat.
In the onboard cafe the mode is still very much French. Croissants and pain au choc with not a bacon sarnie in sight. That will wait to a more sensible time. It is Sunday after all. I think.
Now sat in the car on deck six awaiting the nod to disembark. Fortunately no one has switched on their engine yet though I can see a few lights on.
We’re off.
