I had a lay in this morning and for the second day running I got coffee in bed, that makes 5 times in 32 years, until now R has definitely not been a morning person, camping seems to agree with him.
We knew we would stay in this lovely campsite for 3 nights so we put up the tent that attaches to the side of the van, it made loads of difference space wise and we were able to detach it and leave loads of stuff on site while we explored.
It was 37 degrees today, too hot to do anything so we dossed about, went in the pool, drank beer and sunbathed, even Sunny got a bucket of water thrown over him to keep him cool. It got very humid this afternoon and thunder and light rain was forecast at 9 o’clock.
At about 7 we thought we had better take down the tent and pack everything away, just in case. We were congratulating each other quite smugly at our co-operation and organisation which considering the extreme heat was unprecedented. When unannounced and an hour early massive fat rain and hail came down and utterly drenched me. R had been standing under the tailgate with the boot open, smirking because he was dry and I was wet. Once the rain abated slightly he closed the boot, it was full of water, sadly I did’t have my phone to video as a whole bath full landed on his head.
Luckily we had already packed everything except the washing up and a melon.
