Sunday 9th July 2017- Its awning down day

Gosh another early start but the sun was shining and it was beginning to get warm again around 0900. The weather forecast from Meteo was showing rain showers this afternoon and so we immediately set about putting away and folding up tables, shoe racks etc to make space for the awning to come down. So bit by bit we took out the sides and at that moment Arie and Henny arrived to assist which was necessary as I still find it difficult to fully bend and still warning about carrying heavy loads so left the majority of the heavy bits to them.
Ghosh its hot again which was not forecast, they say 26-26 Centigrade but again it hit the early thirties which made it very hot work and the need to stop every so often for a water break but midday it was down, cleaned and put away in the car which was great which then just left Jen and I with the last few bits to be put away, As a thank you we gave them a Costco Sirloin steak and a bottle red wine which we hope they will enjoy.
We then had a little rest under the umbrella and then set about preparing lunch of a rib eye steak from the grill and vegetables with Noel trying two glasses of red wine to see what happens, hopefully nothing. Later on in the days there were lots of tummy rumblings and a little flatulence but nothing to bad. We then did a small caravan sort and then a rest before watching the Austrian F1 GP highlights on Channel 4, not a bad race but have seen better. It’s not Hamilton’s year again one feels but let’s see what happens at the Brit GP next week.
We chatted to an English family which had arrived yesterday but also noticed during the day and increasing number of arrivals and particularly children and mostly from Holland where the schools have finished for the term. The site is looking a lot busier now and so as usual it’s time for us to leave this fair and pleasant land. Tonight its cooler but there is clouds around and the odd rumble of thunder with rain expected so let’s see what happens.
We have decided that tomorrow will be a quieter day for us and although Jennifer has some final food sorting to do and we need a little shopping we plan to have lunch in Courmeilles  for a change.
Weill try to see if we have a wifi connection tonight otherwise will have to wait again and will find a better place to upload the reports.
