Just when you though it was getting better it didn't and the bloody internet did not work on the four times I tried over a day. Anyway enough of that!
We decided to take a drive out to the West of Ebreuil with Jennifer doing here good bit of map reading and taking us down small lanes where Brits have never trodden before we thinks!. There are some lovely little villages that we passed though and we went back to Chateau Veuce which was owned by a rather strange British guy who was in the process of trying to renovate the place and with the limited amount of money he had he could not keep up with it. He used to rent out rooms and hold concerts but the local authorities have told him that since one of the towers has fallen down that no more public is admitted. It's a shame really and what he needs is a good Russian billionaire to help out.
From there we came across a large virtually unoccupied camp site which was a very nice place and overlooking a very beautiful lake which was designed for wind surfing. The only people who seemed to be there were a couple of English ladies with three dogs who were resting in the garden of one of the chalets whilst their husbands we rebuilding a ruin some miles away. You could tell the girls were not interested in the building work in the manner in which they referred to their husbands little project. As mentioned this is a great site but theu had overlooked one thing in the design and that it all the spaces are up a four inch kerb which most caravans would not be able to do. Also the hedging is so close to the inner roads that there is not room for the car to act as tug in the tight space. For tents and Motor Homes it would be fine. But why it is empty we cannot understand as it is also very cheap. Strange world!
The country side is beautiful around this area and with the hills and dales and woods and little villages was very nice. Unfortunately we had not realised what the time was and all the shops were shut for us to purchase lunch and so we headed back to the caravan for a late lunch.
We enjoyed a cold lamb salad for dinner and then watched the terry Gilliam film 'BRAZIL' which is a great film although I am not sure that Jennifer enjoyed as much as I did. It was a very long film and by the time it was finished it was bed time. Where do the days go?
