It’s Father’s day

Perhaps I was dreaming but anticipated to waking up to and having smoked salmon for breakfast by the pool, only it was raining and cool and no pool, Ah well perhaps next year.
Well we had a quiet morning with Noel still working o new Caravan Insurance but by midday new the problem was solved and our final decision on storing the caravan in Waterrow confirmed we could relax for the rest of the day. We had planned to treat the family to lunch in the local pub but having been their the other night and with such a slow service plus a menu which would not suit kids it would be crazy to go there. So it had been suggested by Joanne that we go there for lunch.
So shortly after lunch we departed for their house in Taunton and had a lovely lunch with them all and Katherine ate well although Christopher was struggling a bit with a cold and perhaps teeth, its a tough age. In the afternoon a visit to the local park whilst dad stayed at home for a rest and when they go back and a cup of tea or two later we departed back to Waterrow and arriving just before 18.45 , fifteen minutes before they bring down the barrier.
Watched a bit of news showing the 5 leadership contestants all vying to show how good they are a bit like the programme called ‘The Apprentice’ where they all talk about how goo they are and totally screw it up, yes just like Government.
In the evening we watched a Dutch film about a group of Bankers during the second world war taking money to help the uprising and assist their fellow colleagues fight the Nazi’s, quite an interesting film really and poignant at the end as it showed old black and white video of the ringleader and his family and also the statue that has been put in front of the Central Dutch bank in remembrance of his efforts.
And then to bed  with the slight sound of rain on the roof of the caravan, oh well here we go again.
