The park is empting out with people heading back home as some of the schools start again next week. It is the first time I have been here during a long holiday and it was quite an experience. At times the caravans and tents were packed like sardines and just when I thought no more could fit in, more arrived. But it has been interesting and the surprise was the interest shown by very young girls in the insects I displayed.
Now is maybe the time to move on to another camp as I know of two which have been wanting me to spend time there......
