2022 The year of the first season!
What a wonderful year this is… after the year of change, the year of launch. We’re a bit nervous, perhaps, with some anxiety creeping in, the dream has to be realised now, time is catching up with us and the to-do list is getting longer!
And we’re already receiving requests for bookings! It’s heart-warming, it encourages us; at the same time, we realise how urgent it is to get on with the marketing, the website, the prices, the contracts and general terms and conditions of sale, the management software…
We’re promising cottages, but the start date for the corresponding building work is just slipping away! I’d like to say a prayer and thank our future customers for their confidence.
The sewage works have started; a sort of large swimming pool at the foot of the campsite has taken shape to house the future sewage treatment area. More holes…
At the end of January, the reinforcements arrived again with Patrick and Harvey. New stage, new challenges, we’re trying to stay on course. From time to time we go down to the beach with Saga, which is a nice excuse. I love these moments. Patrick goes swimming every time, which is incredible.
Since the beginning of July, the seasons have passed over the sand, the sea and the sky; it’s a magnificent spectacle almost every day, a picture in perpetual change, the light is often very beautiful.
It’s 25 January and it’s been a waltz of lorries since daybreak, at 8.30am because it’s always so late. The lorries are jostling each other, the chalets are arriving in pieces, in several successive lorries, it’s a traffic jam of semi-trailers… help! Everything has to be unloaded quickly, because the 15 cubic metre septic tank is also arriving, and it’s huge; this lorry will be parked on the rue de l’Océan because the campsite is overflowing… It’s the height of excitement.
Every day there’s traffic from almost everywhere. Fortunately the weather’s fine. For the last 4 days we’ve been eating outside at lunchtime, what a pleasure. What a pleasure.
In the evening, in mobile home no. 2, which serves as our canteen, we continue to think and plan the next day’s work. Harvey is always full of ideas! Patrick looks up to the sky; he too has lots of ideas, and sometimes other ideas… we have a good laugh anyway.
We decided that the mobils home would be like fishermen’s huts, in all colours! I’m all for it, Paul likes it too. A colour makes a name, simple and effective.
