4.45am…. thats what time the bin lorry came with it beeping and crunching into the campsite. The next time we woke was about 8am to a huge stinky trump from one of the adults followed by a quick exit to the loo! They shall remain nameless!

This site is really fab for many things but it is quite noisey… thats not to say we wouldn’t come back but its got more hustle and bustle than the previous sites we have stayed in. We love la Rochelle and Stew has declared it his new favorite french city. This may seem like quite an accolade but when pressed as to his previous favorite he said he didn’t have one!

We were all up by 8 and directly opposite the campsite there is an “artisinal boulangerie” selling pretty cakes so I popped over for breakfast and some bread for the day.

After breakfast I read the last bit of my book, before having a bit of a clear up and then finally doing my roots. Its fair to say that I’ve not done the best job but I’ve cheated my overly aged hair successfully for another few weeks!

We literally had no food so I went over and did a supermarket sweep of the aisles and got in some nice food for this evening. The children were super excited that we were expecting the Turner children for a play in the swimming pool, and a bbq.

Stew hopped in to la rochelle to collect the Turners whilst the Adamson children waited impatiently. The children played and we chatted and then headed over to the pool for a couple of hours. It amused me as the Turners did not have the required wrist band for access and when the life guard patrolled the swimming pool, Adam sat in his hands! good skills!

A bbq and some wine followed whilst the children played.. the girls painted their hair blue, and a then adam and stew went to Decathlong (again!). Well I say again…. Adam didn’t know anything of this Decathlon of which we spoke! Stew soon saw that as his duty to deal with that!

Soon it was time for bed and without anything to really report on today, we’ve all had a fab day and are feeling very relaxed!
