After some heavy rain in the night we woke up to sunshine and blue sky’s.

Stew and I went to the shops to get some essentials…. mainly pastries!

After breakfast we could see our new pitch was available… so after a couple of trips to reception… queueing up each time we got the keys to our “vip” pitch! Our own toilet and shower, heater, hair dryer, washing up sink, fridge and even a mini dishwasher in a shed on the pitch!

After the set up we made a picnic and headed to the beach for a play in the waves!

The kids were in and out for hours… penny lost her goggles and we even managed to find them in the sea!

We got back and showered (in our own shower!!!) and chilled for an hour in the sunshine…. and then the clouds appeared!!

We had just put the bbq on and stews rain-dar told him to put the shelter up outside the van. with immense timing the heavens opened just as the last peg went in!

The rain was incredible and caused our pitch to flood… The pitch next door also was under water… the deepest parts were knee deep.

Once we had moved all we could to higher ground, stew resumed cooking in the biblical rain… and I opened a bottle of Cremant…. much to the amusement of the other campers… which somewhat lifted spirits, and the next door campers opened beer. All we could do was wait for the water to subside… eat our bbq and then hope that Frasers tent which was in 3 inches of water wasn’t too wet!

Incredibly nothing was damaged and Frasers tent was bone dry!!

The kids went off to sleep and we read our books in slightly damp chairs!!
