Even more of the same:- relaxing, shopping and swimming

Well as the title suggests we have not done much more than that. The weather is now very good and hot and swimming in the poo, is great and you don't get cold as soo as you leave the pool.

The site is in the process of being sold to a French Company called Hutopia who set themselves up as a nature friendly site only its  not looking that way since they took over the running of the site last year. During the past week I have been drawing up a list of failures  of the site management, its rather stupid to put somebody who has never managed a caravan site before in charge, apparently they have both worked on sites in the past but that does not make them managers. With Hutopia philosophy , if you have been on an aircraft then you can certainly fly it. 

My plan is to let the staff know that there are problems and then write to their Hutopia Managing Director and let them know we we and other regular campers think of their lack of organisation. We learnt yesterday that the staff thought the swimming pool was a natural pool and di not need any chemicals to ward of disease and health risks which did not go down well.

We have spent perhaps more than a little timer watching the world cup football what with its ups and downs. Germany out is quite unbelievable but of course we got exited after England beet a nothing side 6-1 but not so excited when we lost 1.0 to the Belgian EU side. We shall see what happens over the next few weeks but somehow what with all the hype I don't thin England will get to the final unless the opposition capitulates.

We have done a couple of local walks around the site area, its so nice and quiet here only spoilt by the sounds of tractors ploughing or collecting hay fort the winter months.

Last night we hosted dinner for Ingrid and also two Dutch guys, one has been coming here for over thirty years and he came a child with his parents and returns every year for about a month and it was an nice warm evening and so we enjoyed a nice dinner of cold salmon with a large choice of salads and finishing with a nice fruit pie and some English Cheddar cheese.

We are now beginning to think about the packing up routine, we have to clean the windows of the awning  before packing away and as the weather is due to get very hot, perhaps as much as r 30 Degrees centigrade we have started doing the odd bits and pieces so as to avoid having to pack up in the hot sun.

It looks liker Mrs Merkel last days are in sight with senior boss of Bavaria calling for closed borders, which the EU wont allow, should be fun watching how the EU extract themselves from this self inflicted mess.
