Following a
relative early breakfast we headed downtown to Courmeilles to visit the local
market and purchase some fish for the evening’s dinner. As usual the town was
quite busy with about forty market stalls selling everything from ladies
dresses to live chickens and ducks, we considered buying a duck as a sign of
opposition to the amount of people who have arrived with a multitude of dogs.
Why anyone would need five dogs we cannot imagine, however we decided against
the duck as it would not have time to get a passport to come back to Uk with us
next Wednesday let alone the problems of immigration. If it was an Afghanistan
ducks perhaps it would be different with the offer of a free apartment in
London. Anyway with a brief walk around the market for a few photos we ended up
at the fishmongers and purchased some fine whiting for tonight’s dinner plus
some nice seafood volavents.
We spent the afternoon relaxing in the sun under the umbrella and watching the new arrivals, about 20 today, we have been reliably informed. It’s often fun to watch, perhaps if not a little rude, to see people who have arrived either camping or caravaning for the first time and are not quite sure what to do . You would thinks that people who have never camped before would put the tent up at home so as to understand what to do but no, you watch them for hours as they the put the pole in there and then see the tent fall over, its quite fun but sad at the same time and perhaps we should offer help but that can also be misconstrued.
It was a
mixture of Brits and Dutch arriving today, as always, for some reason the French
prefer sites on the coast, perhaps overlooking the UK and thinking about, if
only we had a Brexit vote.
Tonight’s
fish was excellent with boiled rice and vegetables consumed along with a bottle
of Saint Veran wine followed by a Normandy apple tart. Tonight we have decided
to watch one of our last films this time its Oceans 11, old but still fun.
Tomorrow we
need to wash the awning windows in readiness for the awning to come down on
Sunday afternoon ion readiness for our return to the UK on Sunday. As the site
fills up we recognise its time for us to leave.
Just seen
the headline, Putin meets Trump face to face??? What did you expect arse to
arse???
Anyway
quote of the day from Ronald Regan Ex USA President
“ I have wondered at
times about what the Ten Commandants would have looked like if Moses had run
them through the US Congress.”
