Arrival
First thing this morning, I handed the kids a list of things they each needed to pack, then left Freddy to pack his own and help Jack with his while George and I walked the dogs. Once back, George got on with his packing while I showered etc. I also asked a neighbour if he’d come in and let the cat in and out - we had planned to leave her indoors at first, but somebody (ahem) left the kitchen door open while I was taking things from the hall to the car, and she shot off down the street. Somebody (ahem) also took over from Freddy and “helped” Jack pack his bag; as a result Jack didn’t have half the stuff he needed - but of course that wasn’t discovered until much, much later…
However… despite forecasts of wind and rain, the weather when we arrived at the caravan was beautiful. We barbecued for lunch (just in case the forecast turned accurate later) and went down to the beach afterwards. The beach was almost empty - just us and a man and two boys playing cricket. It’s a great beach: long and wide, very clean, sandy with no stony bits etc - and just a five-minute walk away from the caravan park. The site within the park is great too; it’s right in a little loop in a corner, so hardly any traffic at all, and there’s a playground and basketball court just metres away. And right now, during the week and term-time, the place is so wonderfully quiet - in our little alcove of 20 or so caravans, there are perhaps two others currently inhabited. Kinda nice
