with the famous Verdon Gorges close at hand. The drive up around Lake Castillon is also worth the while.

The site is level, has individual hedged pitches, plenty of loos and showers, including disabled, a swimmimg pool and bread ordering. There is a shop, bar and pizzeria open in high season and the people in reception are welcoming. It accepts Camping Cheques in low season. Not far towards the town is a Casino supermaket (very cheap vodka, think it may have been incorrectly labelled), and the cheapest fuel around.

I enjoyed fully the free services of communications : 4 free phone sets to call landlines all over Europe including the UK, free wifi all over the site and free PCs on line to check emails. Quite a treat for retiredUS Army, who have also seen too many war films and will think nothing of giving the orders to blow the crap out of a holy shrine.

Meanwhile, in domestic news, cats in transit are particularly messy creatures. Penny had to dodge some faeces of her own making on the journey to her temporary home this morning. Every corner turned resulted in the relocation of the faeces and Penny scurrying out of its way. Poor thing. Carling tix have arrived. The check-in procedure looks an absolute joy. Certainly too much effort for a half-page review. Still, we'll be hob nobbing with the stars for a couple of days.
