Hello John,
Good to hear from you! The hot sunny weather is very nice (a bit too much at times though). My wife is French and from this part of France that's why we come here. I discovered a very nice lake nearby the other day which would be fantastic for RC boats; not only that, you could swim alongside your favourite model tug, ferry, coaster, or whatever as it made its way through the water, because the water is so warm and clear! I might build myself a small tug that I could transport in my lugguage between the UK and France and sail it on this lake (this is why I have been posting so many queries about smaller models on the forum lately, including ferries of course!). As to which ferry I'd like to build, that's a hard one. Something with a UK connection and fairly modern I think.
All the best
Simon
