We spent the morning doing a few chores and enjoying being here. David, the owner actually offered me a job while chatting(!) - he and Zac, the chef, are working their socks off keeping the site beautiful. The restaurant is so popular with campers and local people, we've seen some turned away if they haven't made a reservation. Yesterday I said it was one of our favourite sites - it is actually our very favourite site! NB to other camping friends - we'd quite like to keep it a secret, but we know you would love it too!
Not quite so warm today, so a good day for a walk along the canal and into the lovely countryside. Found a few geocaches along the way, but one was in a tennis ball way up a tree that we felt far too ancient to climb up to it.
Spent the evening in the restaurant having a very tasty meal....
Friday 11th May
.... and went back again this morning for breakfast. The best hot chocolate this holiday! Zac had a little bit of time to talk again, but he is so tired - we almost offered to do the washing up. This morning his big headache was running out of bread. They buy the frozen bread dough ready to cook, but last night got through more than they expected and didn't have enough for the baguette orders this morning. So someone was sent off to various boulangeries (must be quite a way away, we think their little shop is the only one for miles) to get more.
Today we planned a cycle ride/walk and set off about 11 o'clock, only to come back again a few minutes later because my back tyre went flat! John spent the next half hour fixing it for me - while I wandered around the campsite taking photos.
and then parked up the bikes to walk on a trail through shady trees and crop fields, with distant views of the rocky cliffs at Merry.
We are now running out of holiday time and need to set off tomorrow morning for the last two days of travelling. Not sure yet where we shall stay en route, possibly in Champagne somewhere.
