Heavy rain forecast for today

Yep, its raining Ok and the BBC weather outlook for the day is pretty much rain for most of the day except around lunchtime and early afternoon and so what to do as original idea was the catch the bus up to the Glastonbury Tor which would be pointless in the rain and its also a bit misty.
The clean caravan now shows up the hitch lock cover quite badly and as their is a large caravan daalder in Highbridge we decided to take a trip over there and see what we could find. It was raining quite badly when we left but as we arrived approx. 45 minutes later it had stopped and so we looked in a few caravans and still found nothing we liked which seemed to sort of please us. We purchased the cover and also some new mains water connection to avoid having to pump in  to a large water tank , it was not cheap for a bit of plastic hosing and a pressure controlled connecter, but it will make like a lot easier when arriving on site and getting all the services going. This dealer has a massive area with hundreds of caravans , in fact the largest display I have ever seen.
From there we headed back to Morrisons in Glastonbury to get some food and other stuff which we succeed to do after first of all having a sandwich and a cup of tea, the store is being refurbished and so in a bit of a mess but we survived.Back on site we had a bit of a sort out and took down the sun umbrella as no sun is forecast for a little while but have left the BBQ up hoping tomorrow will be better, we shall see.
We spent a little time looking at the route we should take from this site to our next location so as to avoid small and crowded roads and also the famous M5 which incidentally we passed over earlier in the day and it was solid with nobody moving Eastbound.
We watched yesterday evening some of the events taking place in Normandy and it looked really good and its a pity we could not go this time.
