Penny and Dave headed off to Europe in April 2010. As well as sightseeing in France and visiting Bernadette and Liz in the Channel Islands, we bought an old 107 year old barge. We will use it to explore France and possibly the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and other parts of Europe.
This old fashioned Laverie (or "Laundromat") is situated in Mirabeau sur Beze and was used in the 1700s for clothes washing and is really called a "Lavoir". The platform could be raised or lowered using a complicated arrangement of chains, gears and pulleys. This was to compensate for the height of the river.
The Kerr adventurers are off again. After several forays into the Pacific, we are off to Europe to explore the Canals and Rivers of several countries- starting in France given that two of our daughters live in the Channel Islands, close to the Coast of France.
