From Glastonbury to Waterrow, Somerset

Well we awoke to a cloudless sky, Wot no rain?? and for the rest of the day until about 7 pm in the evening it was beautiful.
We packed up the caravan at a slow rate as we were not in a hurry as we only had a maximum of two hours to travel but however we were ready to leave just before 11.00 and so off we went. The small road from the site to the main road is about one mile long and not very wide, in fact if two caravans meet there would be a big problem why they ask caravan to only arrive after 14.00, and we made it it without any hassle.
Jennifer had looked at the route we would take the night before and by using Google Map and Google earth it was possible to looked at junctions and the actual signposting which makes it a lot easier. The traffic was not to bad and we we arrived at Waterrow Touring Park around 12.30 which is actually the earliest you can arrive and my 12.45 we were on out site and by 13.30 we sat down on the grass on our chairs with a cup of tea and biscuit, still no rain.
Jennifer went for a walk to explore the site , which we had stayed on before back in October 2014 when there was a bad storm, and looked around by the river and then back whilst Noel tried to get the fast Wi-Fi running and as we are pretty much on the last pitch if only just reaches us and Noel has a Wi-Fi extender which needed setting up and also retune the TV  for  the Programmes. We had only had a biscuit and tea for lunch and so had an early dinner of two rather large gammon slices form Morrisons Glastonbury and together with some chips and egg washed down with a glass of plonk just as the rains arrived.
Boy did it rain, the noise in the caravan was so great the TV sound was only just loud enough at maximum but we watched a couple of hours of Silent Witness which is always quite good although it can be a little gruesome at times.
As we want to bed the wind and rain picked up,  typical June weather we thought and not the flamin’ June that people talk about.
