Transformation

It has been so incredibly busy here the last few weeks that I have not had time to keep the blog up to date but here are the latest pictures to show the results of the last amazing push to get everything ready for the CSMA Rally on 5 June.

Having asked our road-layer if he could find a slightly lighter coloured gravel he turned up on Monday with some beautiful pale gold stone from Toulouse and promptly set about transforming the site.
Our poor campers were incredibly tolerant as they watched lorry after lorry of gravel being poured in front of them but the effect on the look of the site was truly amazing.
Our digger was used to level the groud off between the pump house and the shower block and then on Tuesday that too was gravelled and suddenly turned from a mud-pit into a clean and tidy walk-through.
The rally members had to dodge the lorries as they arrived but they brought glorious sunshine with them which has made everybody feel a whole lot better.

The front of our house extension has now been rendered and the gable end will be completed on Monday.



The four new chalets are now in place and the first one is complete (apart from a patio door that needs to be replaced) and is occupied from today!

After an enormous amount of help from various campers all the serviced pitches are now operational, door and shutters have been painted, gravel moved and we now have a long list of the things we need to change to get it right for next year!

Well .. "The Boys" left on Monday 4th. June taking the rain with them to Santander. Really enjoyed our stay despite the mixed weather and the work in progress. The icing on the cake was Richard, Wendy, Sophie and our fellow campers who provided a local bar just a few metres away. Can't believe the transformation the resurfacing has made. Looking forward to coming back in July - this time with "The Girls". John.
