Following our longish day out to Riom on the previous day we decided to have an easy day and enjoy the sun.
However Noel was in need of some plastic slip on/off shoes which he could buy in the amazing little but large shop in Ebreuil. We first visited this shop many years ago when all they sold was house ware and gardening and some farming instruments. Now it is huge and they sell anything from TV's and DVD to anything to build a house. The area outside and behind the store is now chock full of sand and cement and its like a large Travis Perkins and B&Q rolled in to one and its a fascinating shop to tour. Anyway fifteen minutes and a pair of plastic shoes at the equivalent of four quid we were on our way.
Jennifer spent the rest of the day reading and then Noel spent time finishing up the Blog covering the company function he has been working on and eventually started up the BBQ again this time for sirloin steak and sausages together with a mixed salad and of course a glass or two of some well known French red wine. Sitting in the sunshine and enjoying a steak and wine by the side of the river Sioule is a great way of spending the evening and difficult to beat as a pastime.
We did our evening walk around the site and still do not understand the following. At one end of the site there is an area broken up by trees and small bushes of sufficient size to allow a caravan or tent and ther are perhaps 40 emplacements and they are mostly full and you can hear and easily see your neighbour but where we are there is a three acre field and only us on it. Maybe its us? Anyway we don't care as we have tons of room and nobody to worry about offending.
We shall go for a walk tomorrow if its not to hot.
