Saturday

We were woken about 3am by torrential rain, thunder and continuous lightning. I knew that I had to get up and close the roof lights, but you just dread that moment when you pull back the blind and the water that’s collected then drops on you. Yuk . Lottie was petrified so had to have lots of cuddles and reassurance. It seemed to go on forever but eventually we got back to sleep, and when we woke about 8am it was all calm.

I cycled to a local supermarket to stock up on a few necessities. By the time I got back, the sun was out. We spent a while doing odd jobs that needed doing. Then lunch before a doze to catch up on sleep missed last night. We then took Lottie down to the beach for a walk / chase after the ball, to try and wear her out a bit as we were due to eat at the restaurant. This was our first meal out, which was actually my birthday present, as I’d said I would have a meal out rather than a present.

We went up for a meal in the restaurant about 7.30 and were served by what we think is the father/grandfather of the young chap who can speak several languages (the father/grandfather is very limited in his languages) Also in the restaurant were the young German couple from next to us. They have 2 children, 13 weeks old and 2 1/2. They arrived about 3am this morning and fortunately someone was awake and opened the campsite electric gate for them. They were very grateful, as you can imagine. This was at the middle of the ⛈

We had a lovely meal, fish for Paul and steak for me. We asked for a rose that was dry and we got one. It was so nice we had 2 bottles of it ☺️
