Well today has a been a very low key day… The arrival of the rentals, mum and dad Townend meant we had a chilled out day in the camp, did some washing, the kids played in the park and a trip to the supermarket for supplies was required.

We started the day with our delivery of fresh pastries from the local patisserie that we ordered yesterday, which were delivered to the site. They were delicious and the sun was out, the children were happy and contented.

If I could describe the site to you I’d say its a pimped up sports centre mixed with moors valley. On the site we have an ice rink, a swimming pool, a go ape style tree adventure and a farm. We wondered down and looked at the goats, pigs and sheeps, chickens, turkeys….. And deer! Caroline would love to know what noise a deer makes…. It was an amusing moment when the man cleaning the windows of the swimming pool saw Caroline trying to communicate with the deer…. Hmmmmm!

Mum and dad arrived once we had explored a little, and then we set about setting up the camp. We then had a trip to the supermarket for supplies…. Wine and seafood! Penny got a a4 ringbinder with a picture of freckle on the front, and Fraser got a pair of flip flips! It’s the little things… We might as well have bought them the crown jelwels! We also got more cheese, wine and seafood for this evening.

When we got back we let the children play and they got the giggles big time. I thought they were going to be a nightmare to settle but once they had showered they went out like a dream…. Fraser keeps telling me how much he loves me and penny keeps kissing me…. I think they are having fun!

Right now I’m settled with a full tummy, after eating our cooked prawns, moules, oysters,bulots, and yes a glass or two of wine, listening to the sound of the forrest and feeling quite content!
