Tuesday 12th June until Thursday 14th June- Same old, Same old.

On Tuesday we planned a nice quiet day after yesterday’s travels and for lunch on Tuesday we thought we would have a proper French lunch of bread and cheese.
The Brie cheese was really excellent and most enjoyable as Noel had avoided fatty stuff due to bowel issues but thought it would be ok only it was not. By mid-afternoon he was suffering which lasted pretty much through to Thursday. I won't go in to the details but needless to say it was quite uncomfortable but when typing this on Friday 15th  matters seem to be improving. 
On Thursday evening we paid a visit to Ingrid in the Chateau for a glass of wine and to discuss a joint visit to Dinard to see a mutual friend Gilles who has just had an operation in St Malo to have a tumour removed from his kidney, but it would appear she now has a UTI, which is always most unpleasant and dangerous if not treated soon.
Ingrid is still frustrated with the progress on the sale of the site as they keep neither finding issues which are not really a problem. The last one being the historic swimming pool which they want to close as they say its dangerous, which is absolute rubbish. Afterwards we went to the Creperie for a light bite on the way back to the caravan.
The site is a little busier than May, which is to be expected, and yesterday evening an enormous Motor Home turned up towing a bright red Fiat 500. The earth seemed to move as the motor home went down the driveway and then they opened the slide out. Must have cost a bundle!!
We also met earlier in the week a very nice guy who is travelling alone on a remembrance trip as his wife died six weeks ago and they were due to come back to the site for a few days to relive a happy occasions when they first visited here in 2015. So to honour his wife he decided to come on the trip to try and relive the past experience, how sad.

Oh well shopping tomorrow…
