Well it’s still raining here. Not
much to report really except we watched the England vs France football game on
the site large TV supported by copious amount of local French Cider provided by
the owners of the site. This however did not make the football any better just
more bearable to watch and it was not a good game at all.
Could do better was the best note I
ever got on my school exercise books and the same applies to this lot. France
made the running and we did the chasing and how we scored is a bloody miracle!
The site is still quite empty as it
not yet school holidays in either UK or France and most wise unemployed people
or retirees are staying at home to avoid the continual rain or maybe they
cannot get out of their driveways due to local UK flooding which looks really
bad in Wales and South Coast of UK.
Yesterday, in the rain of course, we
took a picnic to the coast and sat in a car park, in the rain, in Houlgate
watching the rain come down and the odd person braving the weather. Most shops
are bars and restaurants are empty and usually at this time they would be
buzzing, so not good for the restaurant/bar economy business. However, on the
bright side the countryside look beautifully green and verdant, whatever that
means, but the journey through the Normandy hills and villages is a wonderful
drive. We arrived back in Lisieax for some light shopping and we had not
arrived from this side of town and was very surprised ho really large this
place is with a huge office and storage warehouse for the Leclerc Supermarket
chain
This morning is Wednesday 13th
June and no end to the poor weather and as our daughter Joanne and hubby Tim
are due to arrive with their tent this Sunday we are hoping for a string
improvement although the weather forecast is for more of the same.
Quite a few caravans left this
morning and I doubt there are no more than ten per cent of the 180 pitches are
taken which means that it’s very and quiet and so perhaps people have gone
south to escape the rain. We shall have a restful day reading and watching
films etc as we don’t need any shopping and our menu for the day is fully
planned with ‘fromage’ for lunch and lamb steaks for Dinner washed down with a
light Cabernet Sauvingnon no doubt, whilst the fish and ducks swim by.
Anyway that’s it for today.
