Well at least it is warm rain!

13th to 15th May. Having driven all the way to the south of France we feel that the least we could expect was some sunshine, but it seems determined to be cloudy and wet. Still as the animals seem determined to love us to death plus Julie and the family cannot do enough for us, it is all very nice and restful. We have managed to get up to date with the blog and recharge everything electrical, phones etc., plus ourselves. Today as planned we left chez Shbib around 10.30am and drove the 235 miles to a Spanish campsite just south of Tarragona outside the town of Cambrils. Half of this journey was dull and showery but we now have the glorious sunshine we have been hoping for. We are parked at the very edge of the sea and have listened to the waves crashing on the shore every time we awoke, lovely. This camp site is spotless and I am sure we would not have been given a place by the sea if it were not low season, but we still had to pay a supplement which I felt was well worth it. Actually my next trick will be to try and get a few pictures on here via flickr but please don’t hold your breath. Must dash I have an urgent appointment with a cold beer and a reclining chair, plus the small one will need reminding to turn and do the other side occasionally!
Lots of love, at last from the sunshine.
