The ground was reasonably firm too till you stopped then it just gave way ... But im glad those guys were around or id have really been in the doo doo

Ha ha no probably not.


No trucks here now they all seem to be heading to turkey etc ...just a few small vans and a couple of motorhomes here now.

A winch may well be on the cards ...i already planned to fit all terrain tyres to it
all terrain tyres will dig a bigger hole quicker on soft sand

Out on our walk this morning its almost eery and a little sad to see this place so quiet....it was bustling in november you couldn't walk 10 feet without a conversation with someone ....but its also weird how much has changed in 3 months ..the wrecked boat on the beach that was above the sand is now almost completely burried ...theres vast areas with no one parked ...the area i was parked in with the french is now deserted ...the odd van scattered here and there

Interesting about the ship - has it sunk into the sand, surely the beach hasn't risen... or simply rotted & washed away...

I thought you like peace & quiet?
Or is it a bit too peaceful & too quiet.
Maybe some rowdies will rock up soon.

But you can see its now mostly burried.


I do like peace and quiet but it just seems really quiet at the minute ....the only sounds are insects and the occasional car driving past ....its just such a contrast to how it was before.

Nice spot, even better now it’s quiet. When you said the ship was covered, at first I thought you were talking of that big one that was on the beach at another spot. (y)

I said boat lol its only a wee yacht ...it was someone else that called it a ship.

The one at githio was a cargo ship and the one at gialova was a decent size probably a fishing boat but this one is pretty small really ...its just amazing how much has dissapeared in 3 months

Eye now sorted Val?
Afraid not yet.
I had an injection into it and am ow waiting until near the end of the. month for another check to see if it is improving and/or what happens next.
I tbink my sight is marginally less blurred today- so fingers crossed that it's slowly improving. Thanks for asking 😎

Looks like an induction hob in that sprinter?
Yes, I noticed that too. I was quite impressed with the layout and fittings until I saw the induction hob. It would be about as much use as a chocolate teapot to me.
