Hello all………Sarah missed some great highlights from today, so I thought I would add an extra post to include them.

Firstly, let’s explore why the forgetfulness!  In an Ant and Dec stylie……Too drunk, it could be you……..Too sleepy, it could be you………..computer ran out of battery, it isn’t you……….distracted due to the remaining Malaria symptoms (see previous blog), it could be you………………….yep, you have guessed it, too drunk (a lethal cocktail of fizzy white wine, red wine and gin!!!)!!!!!

So, today was a little cooler (well this morning anyway), so why not spend a little time making Freckle look good?  Fraser and I took to the task of sorting out rusty chrome.  Now I read some medieval magic that said if you rub rusty chrome with wet tin foil, there will be a transformation……well shiver me timbers, it is amazing!  Fraser and I, armed with a ball of kitchen foil sorted out the hub caps, wing mirrors and headlights, like they were new!  One for the geeks – apparently, aluminium is softer than chrome but harder than rust and rubs it off, even Paul Daniels (god rest his soul) would be amazed at this magic!

So, a lovely drive into La Rochelle.  They are very proud of their roots with roads named after kings of England who ruled here in the past.  The town is amazing and I found myself in the middle of a park, a city square and the back streets, but with one thing in common, the people all loved Freckle!

So we got back with a the Turners making their debut in Freckle.  It turns out Adam is a bit of a David Bellamy in terms of being at one with nature (Sarah thinks Chris Packham is more contemporary)!  Anyway onto Adam spotting, them stalking and catching a lizard, to the children’s amazement.  Not really something we see at home so the kids were v excited.

The final highlight came as the camp entertainment toured the site, drumming up support for the big event of the night.  Tonight he was coming round in an electric golf buggy, with a massive PA system playing some tunes and dressed as Michael Jackson, in the red leather suit!  Trouble is he has a beard and a definite ringer for the Bo Selecta Michael Jackson He He!

We hope the Turner family arrived home safely……..Adam did well ordering a taxi.  Not sure how to be honest, he thought the “person” on the other end was an automated machine……..nope just a Frenchman!!!!!

Bon Nuit xxxx
