Saturday 22 September

Lottie woke me up about 5am as she had jumped off the bed for a drink and now required picking up and putting back on the bed (she can jump down but the bed is too high to jump up to). My head was banging, I haven’t had a hangover for quite a while so wasn’t enjoying this one. Dozed on and off until getting up about 8am to get some paracetamol.😩

Laundry day today, managed to get mine in before anyone else. We spent the rest of the day surrounded by sheets / towels / knickers hung around the pitch.

As we were both feeling slightly delicate we spent the day around the van doing odd cleaning jobs, and sitting in the sun. About 4pm we walked down to the beach with Lottie and the ball thrower, to give her some exercise (and us). We were on our way back when Paul threw the ball underhand from the thrower and I heard a whack and a yelp, yes he’d managed to hit Lottie with the ball, a really hard ball. Lottie immediately came over to me to be picked up and tried to crawl into my shoulders, which she does when she’s very frightened. After a cuddle we had to carry her back to the site as she didn’t want to walk. I had checked her over to make sure she didn’t have any broken ribs. Fortunately after a while she seemed OK.

We’ve had several new arrivals, the site is quite busy. An English couple arrived, they are back for the 8th year, they stay here until the site closes mid November. It’s interesting, hearing others stories. The French couple opposite are leaving tomorrow, we have said goodbye to them, lovely people. The German couple who were next to us yesterday with a 2 year old and a 13 week old baby, they left about 5pm so we said goodbye to them.

We can see why this site is popular, it has a lovely feel to it. It’s very quiet around here and it’s lovely just to be able to walk down to the (deserted) beach.
