Provence trip is off

The car went in for a (long overdue) service today and as expected (by MK) it needs a new clutch. When I went in to pick the car up the mechanic was talking about us coming in next week to make a time to put the car in for the clutch job (a full day job, he said). I just mentioned we'll be away next week so it'll be the week after next, taking the car he asked, yes I said, errrrr I wouldn't.

So there you have it. The car's stuffed and we shouldn't drive it far. Not as far as Provence.

At least I know now why it was so damn hard to find accomodation in Provence (still not found anywhere).

We were never meant to go.
