Lagny

10th September

Interesting journey to Lagny! We were cruising along quite happily in the sunshine, looking out for the aqueduct marked on the map, wondering if we’d notice we were on it and get a good view. Saw the sign to say the channel was narrowing and the no overtaking sign when what should come round the corner towards us – not one, but 2 big commercials. Needless to say, David took the wheel but we didn’t really know what to do; we couldn’t stop and it didn’t look as if there was room for us to pass. Somehow, we missed each other. My French slang clearly isn’t all it could be as I’m not sure what the bargees shouted but I’m fairly certain that it wasn’t very polite!
