As most of you know, we had a trip to the UK recently for Kev & Nic's wedding. The bride looked lovely, as did the groom of course, and a great time was had by all. We hired a car in France which allowed us to transfer a load of stuff between the boat and home.
David's daughter, Abigail, travelled back with us to join us for a week on board. We hadn't seen her for about 18 months so it was really nice to spend some time together. We cruised down to Nancy for a few days via Liverdun. The highlight of the trip was the sound and light show in Stanislas Square. This was a bit of an effort for us as it didn't start until 10:45 - way past our bedtime! The square is a large, open space surrounded by very grand buildings in typical European style. The sound and light show was amazing; an image of the Hotel de Ville and adjacent buildings was projected as an overlay. The show then proceeded to tell the history of
the square, starting with construction. An electronic pen drew over the building, illuminating all the lines and windows. Another sequence covered the building with Art Nouveau images. We liked it so much, we went back a second night! Would love to have a go at making something like 
that.
We are now back in Toul ready to head East on the Canal de la Marne au Rhin and then South back to Nevers.
