27th July 1979

Friday 27
Set off for camp at 10.00
= very, very hot
It was a long drive
Wrote to Sam
Caravan = really nice
Me & Fi are in bunk beds
Had a shower and washed my hair
It is so hot here



As soon as I set foot in Tranche sur Mer I loved it. It was hot. Everyone except us were French on the camp site and I saw for the first time people dipping their bread and croissants into their coffee and folk drinking red wine at lunch time.......... nobody drank wine in my house ever!! Love it!


Yesterday I popped these open sandwiches up. It amused me as could you ever tell what they are ??

If your stomach can take it, these are the recipes!

1. 4 tablespoons of peanut butter, 2 tablespoons of chopped well-grilled bacon, and 2 tablespoons of coleslaw on brown toast!!

2. 4 oz of cottage cheese, 1 oz of chopped ginger. tiny pinch of curry powder on french bread

3. This is a toasted one - don't eat cold (thanks for the warning!). 1 small tin of baked beans. 2 oz of grated cheese, 1 tablespoon of chopped onions and 1 chopped tomato on toast (we actually have this as a snack ' cheese beanies' but without the onion and tomato it is delicious)

4. 2 oz of cream cheese, 1 oz of chopped walnuts, 2 tablespoons of chopped pineapple, a little chopped peaches an fruit loaf

5. 1 small tin of prawns (what prawns come in tins??), 3 tablespoons of plain yoghurt, 1 teaspoon of Worcester sauce on rye bread

I never knew of such things in 1975??

We have 2 days of uninterrupted sun .... absolutely fabulous :-D
