20th July- It’s really quite warm


 

A really pleasant day as we awoke and the sun shining on the very dirty front windows of the caravan to the degree that it is now getting a little difficult to see out of them. The advent of dust from the road at the last camp site and the heavy rain we encountered on the way to the Lot valley has created its own window world. So first thing before the sun go to warm we got a hose and good wash down and dried off and boy there is a whole new world out there waiting to be seen.

This action fully exhausted us and this required a relaxing breakfast of yogurt and croissants with a nice cup o warm coffee to wash it all down. Then we did some reading until lunchtime where upon we raided the cheese locker and with rye biscuits the Brie and Camembert tasted great with a nice hot cuppa'

In the middle of the afternoon there was an influx of about four new caravans or mobile homes and one caravan was put in a space opposite us but for him to get the van in the correct space required some muscle as they did not have caravan movers. I believe they will have these fitted when they get back home.

We spent a happy couple of hours at the swimming pool and enjoying the sun before heading back to the caravan for a meal of mushroom omelette and salad, very tasty and quite healthy.

Later in the evening we headed down to the bar for a evening glass of wine and met up with the couple whose caravan we had pushed and they were nice enough to buy a glass of wine. Although apparently experienced caravaner's they had used to much power in their brand new van and blown the camp site electric plug and had to resort to gas for the fridge until they had sorted the problem. Anyway it was a pleasant evening but as we headed back to the van at about 1130 the sights and sounds of an electric storm on the way were quite visible and Stuart, or Landlord, mentioned that the weather for the next few days would be cooler with a high chance of rain and cloudy skies.
