We pulled back the skylight blind this morning and saw blue sky! The whole sky was blue but cumulus clouds soon started to build. Today was a day for chores and treats. Jane did the washing (very expensive at €6 a load), I cleaned the sink traps in an attempt to improve the flow and the treat was for Henrietta – a wash in a specially designated area. This was indeed a very rare treat and included me sticking my head out of the skylight above the bed and attempting to clean the roof with a long-handled brush. We were able to attach our brush to a hose and this enabled us to give the Henrietta a very good wash and soak ourselves in the process! It was also a treat for the frogs that had taken up home in the flooded inspection pit below the washing area. Their croaking was amplified when Henrietta was parked over them and reached a crescendo when the water started to reach them!
The rest of the day was spent with more chores and reading and we were entertained by a pair of redshanks (wading birds) based in a wetland area next to the campsite. I thinks that they should be called 'orangeshanks' rather than redshanks as their legs and upper beaks were a bright orange rather than red. Every time that a hooded crow appeared, and this was often, the birds would set up a continuous alarm call and fly at the crow, trying to persuade it to leave.
We have discovered that the standard campsite charges for leaving the van here would be €20 per night, which makes it a very expensive option when we return to England. We are reconsidering our options!
