I have to confess that I headed for McD's, from 50kms away. I knew that there was one just outside of St Omer and that they stopped serving breakfast at 11am. It became a challenge, to get there in time.
They should use me in their T.V. ads. Lips smacking, saliva oozing, trying to decide whether to have the Egg or Bacon McMuffin with the Cappuccino, all for just 2 Euros. It sounds crass but it drove me towards the coast.
And I made it, pulling in around 10.40am in the soft morning sun. What an achievement. The back of the trip had been broken. The T.V. producer would have loved it. Confidently striding toward the counter I placed my order. Except that they don't do Egg McMuffins in the St Omer McD's. Just two croissants and some jam. And no cappuccino, only weak filter coffee. So it was all a little disappointing but then it wasn't really such a disaster. After all, I had reached St Omer.
