My lovely OH & the kids have just had 3 weeks on Pentewan Sands, I went down last week & by golly the rain has been bad. I'd be surprised if some of the tent campers must have been flooded out. We were lucky, we got everything set up in the dry & we got everything packed away yesterday in the dry so it was all worth it.

The main thing for me is to set up & pack away dry, take some good books to read & keep the water & waste all sorted. Good weather is a bonus as long as everyone enjoys their time together & gets home safely.

We can't wait to get away again now.

Not wishing to steer the thread off track, did you happen to hear on your local news whether both people pulled from the Sea near Mevagissey yesterday survived? People on pitches near us pulled them from the water, they were taken away by Road & Air ambulance. We left site before the news came on & never heard any more about them.

That Air ambulance service will get my support from now on, they're invaluable aren't they.

My very best wishes go to the families concerned & my admiration to the men who pulled them from the sea & brought them ashore.

If it's any consolation, we've just got back from 2 weeks in the Vendee and it rained for 3 of our last 5 days (although the other 2 days and the week before were goddamn glorious ).
