world cup

Good morning campers well its the British gran prix and the world cup final today I will be posting the pictures on here of the Dutch crowd they realy go to town on their costumes.Although i,ll be wearing orange i,ll be shouting for spain having lived there for the last 7 years.Weve got 6 leavers today two (back to backs )leaving and arriving and one normal clean so its up and at em which actually is quite easy to do as its that hot we cant stay in the tent much longer.

The Dream

Today we got outline planning permission to start up a campsite Fan bloody tastic. We have bought a doer upper farm house in central france and needed planning to add roof windows and extra doors etc and we wished for planning to build a YURT campsite along the lines of www.canvaschic.com/ where we went on a spying mission last year. sorry we went on a www.wwoof.org.uk/ woofing month last year. In case your wondering Woofing is a great way to get around cheap you join then apply to various woofers to work usually for a 4/5 hours per day in exchange for food and accomodation. your not gonna eat steak and have a jacuzzi but the food is nice and we stopped in loverly tents but the main plus was the walk down the george and swimming in the river amazing.The master plan is gto take a couple of years to do up the house and land and put on Yurts and grow our own produce and have people stay for holidays .another plus would be having the kids all summer cooking for the guests and running it the right way.So at the end of this hot (118 f today )camping courier season. we should be ready to get started.

Smelly

The Sh.t realy hit the fan today, we had a german couple with a blocked lou,the maintanance team tried with a large mechanical spring to rotate it out .To no avail then the big guns arrived.A truck with a man used to dealing with raw sewage, he wasnt pretty,with a set of teeth like a piano keyboard.well he blasted the wrong way and my darling jan was promoted to chief explosions cleaner upper a role in which she excelled,so last nights promised romantic walk by the sea was delayed for a hour of peace talks with our rather smelly german friends ,he kept telling me he doesnt realy follow football so i could like him.Today they retreated back to the fatherland despite our offer of other accomodation.so its his loss .It really is a lovely place here.Im on two days of enforced lay up, ive hurt my back so trying to avoid work which is hard for me as im not originally from yorkshire (where it developed into an art form).still very hot can hear the pool activites in the background ,The french sites have a rule that men wear tight fitting shorts not a good look for a man with a beer belly. as you can see>>

Well now down to the hard job of deciding whats for tea speak soon.

Itchy
