Thursday 31st May
To our final stop before home. We’ve stayed here before as
it’s only an hour from the ferry or tunnel. It’s a nice friendly, family run
site. Excellent clean facilities, small swimming pool and a bar/restaurant with
a limited but adequate menu. The majority of campers are Brits, on the way out
and fresh from the ferry, or stopping off on the way home. We met a couple
who’d witnessed our shame last year when we got stuck in the mud and had to be
towed out by the tractor! It’s relaxing to be able to converse fluently with
people, but it really signifies the end of the hols.

There are lots of baby birds here: blackbirds, thrushes,
chaffinches and sparrows. They’re very tame and some of them were coming into
the awning after food.
Friday 1st June
A huge motorhome moved off today. It was humungous – about
the size of a double decker bus at least. It took much farting about to get it
off the pitch and then they hitched up a little car to the back. I dread to
think how much diesel it gobbles. Even Kim, champion of all things large,
thought it was OTT! We were speculating about what they did/had done to afford
such a thing. Drug runners? Porn stars? They certainly didn’t look like porn
stars but you never know.
Managed to swap some books at Reception and picked up a
couple I’d been after for a while. Great relief as I was running out of reading
material.
Saturday 2nd June
Last night in France. We spent the day sorting out the
caravan and getting ready for departure. We had dinner in the little restaurant
on site. It was fine and not expensive.
Sunday 3rd June
Arrived early for the ferry so we had to sit around for a
bit but it was OK, we had books to read. They lowered a ramp from an upper
level – I couldn’t believe how steep it was and felt sure it would be for cars
only, but no, they were sending caravans up. Shit a brick! Kim put his foot
down and went but the car hated it and started flashing red lights. I don’t
want to do that again. It was the ferry from Zeebrugge to Hull in case you want
to avoid it. The one from Hull to Rotterdam was OK.
Monday 4th June
Home with a car full of wine and dirty laundry.
