France 2009, Day Three

Day three 8th June

It was wet, a large pitch closer to the pool and with a clear view for the sat was vacated, there was also a vacant pitch next to it but we couldn't be bothered to move as it was raining. Around dinnertime during a break in the weather we moved onto the better pitch, just as a caravan was coming down the road towards it (we had seen them looking and this spurred us to move fast), they did not look pleased as the drove past.

After dinner we went out for a drive in Ralph's car, the others weren't due to arrive before teatime so it was something to do in the rain. Dot insisted that we should tell reception that Ralph was staying with us for five nights, so we called in to let them know. They said it would be €5.00/night extra and entered it into the computer but the computer would not accept it, so it was free, the computer would however give him a code number for the road barrier.


When we got back from the drive, which consisted of Ralph driving and me jumping out during breaks in the rain to take photos, we called back into reception to collect the keys for Nicole's mobile home. We did this as it was going to be late before they arrived. We walked over the the mobile home and took a photo with the mobile phone and sent it to Nicole. We also got the satellite working for Amber to watch while it was raining.

Mick arrived in the rain about teatime and ended up on the pitch we had originally reserved for him, the one next to our new pitch was now occupied by a tent, it snuck in while we were out.

Nicole and the others arrived about 20:00 and it stopped raining long enough to get the BBQ going to make a late tea/super for everyone, this was followed by several beers.
