After an early breakfast we headed in to Gramat to the Brico Marche and also the Leclerc supermarket as we wished to purchase a pair of secateurs to trim back some tree ends over the caravan and some plumbers tape for the odd bit of plumbing that one does with caravans.
The Brico Marche seems to have been extended since we were here last year and had a really good selection of good quality products and its a bit like a B & Q
The food shopping did not take very long and so back to the site for a quiet’ish afternoon although the taps on our pitch seem to be imitating the fountains of Trafalgar Square and when you turn them on more water sprays out that goes down the hose as it is intended. So Noel went to report that, boy what a busy day.
The Masons Caravan Club arrived today and tonight they had requested a BBQ at the Chateau which was well attended by about 45 people fro around the site and there was an excellent three piece band called ‘Old School’ who played for over three hours withour a break and their focus was on older dance music which they played very well. We were joined on our table by a Dutch couple called Piet and Annette, seems familiar names, and Annette spoke good English whist Piet smiled a lot and nodded his head quite a bit pretending he was understanding the discussion. When I asked him how long have they been on site he said ten years, so not sure what that answer referred to so I just poured myself a small glass of white wine instead and nodded my head, two can play at that game
The site is much busier this year as the Caravan Clun have started recommending it to their members.but we always mixed views on great sites with view campers which fro lack of support could go bust as against sites which are much busier which we really enjoy which should not go bust, this one is the latter type.
A good selection of salads supported the BBQ chicken, ribs and sausages and with a good bit of dancing by the two of us we returned to the caravan around midnight for good evenings rest. There are no lights on the camp site and it enable you to see a near perfect view of the thousands of stars that dot the skies although there was a full moon tonight which cast its shadows over the site and se we looked out for werewolves of something..
Forgot to mention we found a small snake in the awning this morning which we moved to another pitch, hope it isn’t a venomous one as Noel will checking his shoes each morning before putting them on..
