3rd August- Our good Samaritan day


 

The morning came and there was a heavy mist over the site and it was damp and cool and not a good day to go sightseeing as you would see nothing in this mist.

So after an extra lie in and breakfast Jen and I started talking about the elderly couple who had arrived on Sunday and who had been subject to a break in to their caravan whilst sleeping and when talking to the husband on the way back from the wash block it would appear that they were thinking of going home which would have been a shame and that is why they have not put up their caravan awning. So in discussion with John and Sue in the caravan next door we decided to approach them for Noel and John to help the husband Bob put up the awning whilst Jennifer and Sue had a cup of tea with Jan and discuss the positive things about the site and the area overall.

The awning took about ninety minutes for us to figure out how it went up as Bob did not know as he had only just purchased it second hand and had no time to try it but in the end it looked fine and Jan then came to look and immediately started putting up the awning curtains and the tea and chat with Jennifer and Sue seems to have paid off and they all seem a lot happier now.

In the afternoon the sky began to break up and it looked like it would be a nice evening and so we invited John and Sue over for a BBQ, we provided the steak, tables and equipment and some salads and John and Sue provided the chicken and Pork slices with a Mexican coating, whatever that was and also the wine. So a good evening was had by one and all and rather a late bedtime for us I am afraid. We plan to do the Dordogne trip tomorrow but let us see how the weather is but at just before midnight there was 'red sky at night' and it also was a very clear night with many starts visible and so it augers well for tomorrow.
