Saturday 5 March

Just after we had gone to bed last night the wind got up and it rained – for about 10 seconds!

A bit later start today but there's no rush and waiting for the sun to start warming up saves on the heating! After breakfast took Jamie onto the beach for an hour for a good run around and the occasional paddle. He was a bit perplexed by the pony carts and didn't know whether to chase them, bark at them or what. Instead he chased after his ball.


But the wind was cold and straight off the sea still so back to Bertie for a coffee then a trip across the road for fresh baguettes – literally straight from the oven.

It was at the beginning of our walk that we realised we'd met a British couple parked just across the way from us before and after a bit of head-scratching and diary checking we realised it was at Ampudia at Easter last year on our way home. They too were Funsters who we had met before then; can't now remember when but it might have been in Morocco. It's a small world.

With nothing else we particularly wanted or needed to do, and the wind still blowing fresh and cool, we retreated to the van for books and sewing. Bren is embroidering a quilt which her Mam started years ago and which she brings away with us every trip. But at her present rate of progress it'll be a while yet before it's finished!


The weather forecast said it was probably going to be cloudy today but returning to sunshine tomorrow and gradually getting warmer over the next week, similar for Portugal. It only started to cloud over early evening but doesn't look like it will amount to much.
