Well, what a night!
We got a not so lovely surprise at 11pm when the vacant site beside us became occupied. We realised this when we heard the reversing of the vehicle and the instructions being called out from wife to husband. Apparently they found the tiny site just as tricky to reverse into as we did. I can only assume they left home after work today to be arriving so late at night. It took them a full hour before they had finally finished banging about inside and outside the van and we could return to the land of nod.
That was until a baby screamed somewhere nearby. It wasn't a happy baby. It let us know for some time. Of course, then the gorgeous cat that has been wandering around decided to pay us a visit. We have the caravan door open because Emily is sleeping in the annexe tonight. Peter discovered he had a bedmate on his legs at about 2am. He thought it was funny so shared it with me.
At 4am, the van two down from us decided it was time to leave. They obviously had some trouble too. Apparently the husband couldn't see the wife and she needed to move in front of the reversing camera. They took about half an hour to hitch up, with their diesel engine running and headlights on the whole time. Well, that's what we thought when they started to move. We were wrong. They'd had trouble hitching up in their site so had only just got the caravan on the tow ball. They then pulled out onto the roadway and stopped and that's when the levelling bars, chains and plug were attached and lights checked. How do I know this? It all happened directly outside my window. With engine running and lights on, of course. I had given up sleep as a joke and watched the show. I think they're new to caravanning. All up it took them an hour.
By 5.30 I decided sleep was over rated, wrote tonight's blog and went for my shower. There were plenty spare at this hour, at least!
