22nd -26th June 2017- Getting behind on the blog

As I have said before time, flies when you are having fun.
Well on the 22nd The Denoven-smith family had the morning around the camp site and some swimming and then a visit to Pont L’Eveque for some shopping whilst Noel and Jen went down town to buy some large pieces of salmon for tonight’s dinner. During lunchtime however Noel ate something that upset him and his evening was not was expected and so he went to bed early but got out of the washing up however. John seems to enjoy his Cider given by Ingrid and would like to get some more before he leaves but where they will put it is a challenge for them to solve.
The family was due to return on the 11.00 vessel from Dieppe but that would have meant a very early start plus the risk of getting stuck in the Le Havre morning traffic and also stuck in the M25 traffic when they get home and so we changed the booking for the 1730 departure which gave them time in the morning and miss both set of traffic.
On Friday another swim for the family and then they returned the ‘Silver Cross’ pram which Ingrid had lent them for their stay which was great for Christopher.
Just before midday they headed off and had a safe journey home whilst the older ones had a restful two days but with a great steak BBQ on Saturday and then some nice lamb chops on Sunday, boy we know how to live.
Most of the weekend we spent taking it easy and also talking to our sister Mady and also our friend Gilles with a view to getting together with them all somewhere and so we spent some time communicating to make some arrangements.
So the outcome is that we shall go to Vannes and spend one night there and meet up for dinner with Mady and Ken and then go to Dinard and it looks like we shall spend a night there in Gilles house.
On Monday 26th the weather was much better than expected and so we enjoyed the sun and mum went for a swim and then we had a quiet day although we did help some friends who we had met on the site previously work there caravan mover as they could not make it work however it would appear that neither of them had read the instruction booklet and were unable to fix the problem but we were able to help them resolve the issue. In the meantime we had booked hotels in Vitre and also Vannes staying in Ibis Hotels however this was to change on Tuesday when you can read the next exciting instalment.

By staying in Hotels hopefully the Wifi will be faster and I can sort out my photos which I have been unable to do so far.
