It was a relatively cold overcast day, so we all had a walk into town but by the time we managed to get six adults, two four year olds and a picnic ready, it was getting on for lunch time before we set off. On the way down we had to cross over a stream and of course that meant playing Pooh sticks so by the time we reached the park and playground it was time to eat.
Next we made our way to beach and on the beach and for the first time in three visits to Houlgate the tide was in, it is usually quite a long hike to the sea. It wasn't a warm day but not unexpectedly the girls still wanted to play in the sea, dig in the sand and collect sea shells. Even though it was cold, everyone still wanted an ice-cream (its what Brits do by the seaside) and the choice of flavours was impressive, it took as long to choose as it did to eat them.
Back at the campsite the girls insisted on going to the pool while I prepared the evening meal. The pool it is heated so if you stay it the water it's ok but very cold when you are out.
That evening, after a superb meal (remember who made it), we had a game of rounder's (softball) on the football pitch opposite the chalet.
