Thursday 25th May 2017- Its Ascension Day

It is public holiday time in France and the shops will be closing early we had been warned so we went to Courmeiles for some food shopping and also to buy some wine as we have invited another English couple on the site over for an evening drink.

The town is decked out with flags and there is a funfair in town blocking up all the roads and so parking in town was a problem so Jennifer did a run to the fish shop whilst I drove around. Jennifer bought some salmon and then we went to Carrefour for some wine and other food bits and then back to the site.

We decided on a sandwich for lunch and would save the salmon for evening meal but would cook it and serve cold with a salad.

The afternoon was spent taking it easy and our guests arrived around 6pm, David and Marjorie for Ormskirk, Lancashire, which is not far from where Jennifer was born and raised. Anyway they were originally planning to spend a couple of nights here at the Chateau and then go on to the Loire Valley area. But they are so smitten with this site they have now changed their plans and will spend the next ten days here. So we gave them some advice on places to visit such As the Basilique in Lisieaux etc. They have been caravan’ers for many years and had started visiting German sites where there were no mobile homes on site, like here.

They left about 7.30 after two bottle so white wine and then we had our dinner and watch a couple of episodes of the ‘The Bridge’.

And so to bed.
