For some reason the bread man who trolls around the site every morning selling bread and croissants failed to arrive as planned. We presume he must have been hijacked and so we had to resort to yogurt and cereal again although we were running seriously low on milk supplies.
The sun was shining as we left the camp site and headed out through Ebreuil and noticed that it was the local market day and there and behold was sitting our breadman. Ooops must remember for next Thursday. The drive over the hills with the sun shining was perfect and you could see for miles. Next time I will stop and take some photos.
We went for a walk around the town for about ninety minutes and ended back in the centre of the town where we had lunch sitting in the sun watching the workers take their lunch. Lunch in this country last two hours and they allow free parking between 12 and 2pm to ensure you can park long enough to enjoy a good long meal with two or three bottles of plonk.
Noel took some photos around town, just a few hopefully different from the last few visits and you will be able to see them on the web. Also the last time we were here there were some gunshots down the road and two people were shot dead. So it's not really a quiet town after all. Vichy looks to have been painted a bit since our last visit and in the sun and with the many trees and the relaxed atmosphere it must be a pleasant place to live if you like towns.
We took off after lunch in the direction of the Cora Supermarket to buy some charcoal and BBQ fire lighters plus top with other bits of shopping. It was our plan to have a salade nicoise this evening but whilst walking around the shop we came across a hot counter selling quite large pigs knuckle which looked and smelt great and so we shall have the nicoise tomorrow.
The pigs knuckle were quite large and much more meaty than we thought they were and so we shared one and together with a nice salad and a small glass of white wine watched the sun go down over the hills.
The site is a little busier tonight. Its quite interesting really as we park at one end of the site, all by ourselves, and the rest huddle closely together down the end. I don't thinks its because we are anti social but some people like to be regimented and we don't. Not too many emails tonight and the UK news is fairly quiet with brown still there, how I am not quite sure. The camp site have planned a mystery trip tomorrow, we are not sure if we will go as we suspect its to visit the local chateau which we have visited before and run by an English couple. I suppose it depends on the weather and how we feel at the time I guess.
The Wifi on sight is free which appears to be unusual as a number of people have seen me walking with my PC to the little house which contains the games room and were pleased to hear that it was free as on other sites the costs can be high.
And so to bed.....
