Tent & me survived!

This post is more for my Mother to let her know I'm still alive!!

What a disturbed night. The 2 tent pegs & filled water bottle on the porch were finally ripped out by the wind at 3.25am, then again at 4.30am and again at 5.15am.

It's partly because the ground is so poor as it has been throughout northern France. I'm going to start a petition that says you are not permitted to call a campground a campground unless it has some true grassy space. Not these hard, dry, concrete type areas that are more suited to motorhomes & caravans.

I'm looking forward to camping again in grassy spaces in the Dales and hanker back to the Swiss and Alpine campsites! I also started dreaming of fully geodesic tents that can withstand the winds on Everest, one of those could be my next purchase!

I slept well between 6-8am so it's now time for a yummy brekkie!

Happy relaxing Sunday! Mine will be, nothing will be open here!
