Confusing entry

Moved to an Aire in Nancy, five minutes walk to centre and yet view of the boats. Managed to call into Carfours and fill the fridge. Walk around Nancy, nice but nothing to call us back. Sitting having coffee back at camper and heard an English voice say hello and do we have books to swap, I gave him the one I had just finished reading but didn’t want another one. Interesting guy and we talked a while. Turns out he was from a village a few miles from where I was born.
There is a bench just in front of us and Hetty welcomes every new visitor, which gets a smile and bonjour.
