5th June- A day back in the caravan

It was a little misty first thing in the morning but eventually the mist cleared away and the sun came our bringing a really nice day.
As mentioned previously having cleaned the rubber matting we were now loath to put it back so that it get dirty again and so we put down a tarpaulin we had purchased for Pickles the dog to sit on and this works out quite well.
There were several newcomers and departures today but still some of the old faces are here. There is a German couple from Munich and he is a Nuclear Safety Advisor who about three years before the earthquake and tsunami in Japan visited the Fukashima Nuclear Plant in Japan and warned them of siting the operation there, The Japanese management ignored his recomendation and in fact lodged such a strong complaint against the company he worked for he eventually after a big battle was fired for upsetting a really big customer.
Of course now he has been proven correct in a tragic sense however. U meet all sorts of people here.
We are going to a town near Le Havre on Monday to have lunch with a French Couple who camp here every year that we have got to know and so that should be nice.
Life is not dull here at all.
Also got a nice surprise today when collecting our morning croissants that our son Michael and wife Becky had left an undisclosed amount of cash to cover our future bread and croissant requirements for a while.Marie who isrunning the shop told us about the arrangement with a big smile on her face..
Nice evening to sit outside but later back to chapter 7 of The Bridge, the plot is thickening????
