Monday 29 February

Another bright but cold start, priority getting the washing finished which Bren organised straight after breakfast. Meanwhile Terry carried out the now usual chores, carrying water, emptying tanks – and moving the van a bit as some French came onto the pitch in front of us with quite a large van and needed to use the whole length. Unfortunately due to a miscalculation we were very slightly over the end of ours so we were a bit too close together.

With the washing hung out to dry in the sunshine and gentle, but cool, breeze we had lunch then nice hot showers in the immaculate ablutions block – luverly! Still a little too cool to sit outside we spent the remainder of then afternoon doing nothing, listening to some rather loud Brits in French registered vans across the way.

It's certainly much colder here than last year, when the diary shows we were experiencing temperatures in excess of 30 deg although we're about one week earlier. Looking to our next destination the forecast is to remain bright but cool all along this coastline in both directions, not what we'd come to expect, so for the moment we'll wait and see.

Bit galling then when we look at the UK news to find “they” are saying it's the "warmest" UK winter since 1921!
