Good evening page followers 🌹
Well with the heat today kept them so cool it's still like a fridge in my sitting room .
Put the tower fan on in my bedroom so it's lovely and cold in there 👍
I don't want to know how much electricity I've used this summer on keeping my dogs perfect and I don't really care they come first ..
I'm sitting outside with a coffee ☕ dogs ate all their food I put some grated cheese on top ..
It's the heat I know I have kept them cool but I think they know how hot it's been .. Never before have my dogs walked away from their special diets ..
Well dribbling over time for telly and a snuggle cuddle .. they All get attention .My lovely friend Mary came over tonight they were sitting on her knee ..I do like to have a little catch up with my friends 👍❤️
I remember when me and George slept in the transit van which I kitted out with plywood to make a bed and I took the double mattress out of the spare bedroom and made it a lovely cosy place to sleep ..
But on those really hot nights I put my handbag and passport s in my hidden place ,so we could lift the up and over back door and sleep with a breeze.. just our night clothes on with a thin sheet .
The campsite was very safe we knew all the French camping on it for years ..
Frigidaire was what we called our French neighbour who had a touring caravan permanently on the campsite with a big awning where the children slept.
Every night that would eat in the awning watching the portable television and laughing and talking that was wonderful to watch..
After the meal all the children would clear the table he had five three boys two girls and they will go to the main toilet and washing facility and what all the dishes and pans bringing them back to them with a his beaming faces and chattering in French and laughter is a multi-language..
The memories I have of my amazing cheap holidays roughing it sometimes was fantastic memories I will hold him in my mind hopefully always..
We had a French friend Joel and his wife who lived with their three children up on the hill and then I'm amazing big log House.
Joel and his daughter used to do the triarathon every year.
He had land and had rescued lots of deer which he used to keep on it every time a deer was knocked over the locals would bring it to him he was a gentleman and so kind we had many nights up there with them and we had George's family which we let sleep in our touring caravan which we towed all the way from Sunderland to Burgundy..I would Cook in the awning or outside it on my two ring camping cooker . While George's mam would be inside cooking chips which nearly took fire one night .. after that I would only let her use the oven and we cooked outside .. just in case she forgot about the chips 😯😂 ..
My friends always said I should right a book about my adventures ..
Maybe one day when I'm semi retirement with time between my dogs ..so many funny stories ..and arguments over missing the local chicken 🐔 rotisserie van that used to pull up on the camp sites not my fault if someone bought the last chicken in front of me..😯😂
Well I'm going in now take care out there Dribbling over for tonight ❤️
