Last night we arrived at Nonancourt Aire in the vain hope that one of the 6 spaces would be free!! Not a hope 
!! Glynn pulled over on to the forecourt of the unmanned fire station opposite while we quickly perused the Parkings app for inspiration. A few minutes later a red car pulled up in front of us and the lady driver was clearly wearing the shirt of a firefighter. I immediately started indicating my profuse apologies at stopping on the forecourt temporarily when she got out of the car and came over
. All ready to beg forgiveness in my best broken French I was shocked when she immediately said that we should park on the edge of the forecourt by the training tower and stay as long as we want!
! Happy days. Another English Motorhome had pulled in behind us so I went over to advise them where they could park and they turned out to be fellow funsters Bill and Lynn @BILL 875 fresh from the Shepton Mallett show although rumour has it they were evicted for being rowdy 
!! You just never know when or where a funster will pop up!! It didn't have a completely happy ending though as the hose pipes hanging from the training tower hadn't been secured so when the wind got up in the night all we could hear was metal banging against metal 
. When the staff turned up this morning they secured the hoses but we had already suffered a sleepless night from the noise 
. It turned out that both Glynn and Bill had tried to gain entry to the training tower to secure the hoses to no avail as the doors were padlocked 
.
What are your unusual or unplanned funster meetings??
