Today was Guy’s big day – when he finally got to see the Paris-Roubaix bike race. We woke up to torrential rain. Felt sorry for the cyclists as it would make the cobbles very slippery. The bread van came round

The community spirit is growing on this giant motorhome filled car park. A bit of warm sunshine today and all the tables and chairs were out for a boozy lunch. Much raucous laughter and even a bit of singing! We
