Tuesday 16th May 2017 Another glorious day

We awoke at a reasonable time and had a quitre morning after visiting Courmeilles town Carrefour for some milk and various other foodstuffs.
We still had some sorting out to do and spent about one hour packing up empty bags from chairs and tables etc and generally making the site look tidy and then enjoyed a brief afternoon nap as Ingrid the owner was due to come and join us for an early evening drink and snacks. So we had had a good chat about the problem of the camp site sale to the new owners as suddenly the local council when being notified of the sale have requested that the land be returned to farming land and not tourist site. Typical local government trying to play big and tough and as the site brings tourist to the area they cannot understand that after 40 years of tourist use they want to change it back.
In the meantime they have had to spend some money on specific repairs requested by the new owners however they are only buying the camp site sand not the Chateau, the Creperie and swimming pool which will be retained by Ingrid and she will try to sell separately.  After Ingrid left we finished up the open bottle of wine and went to bed and the outside temperature was still very hot and tomorrow it will be the same again we understand.
