Winter Camping at Marjal-I can see what all the fuss was about!

What a day yesterday! My family flew back to the UK on Saturday with my family to try and get her troublesome eye sorted out after four months. We had visited three opticians in Spain and a Specialist at an expensive private hospital here and also a visit back to the UK where Hull Royal Infirmary confirmed everything that the Spanish said " lacerations to the cornea,' My mum was in tears with the continuing pain so yet again went back to the UK . She was asked to read the good old eyesight board and she managed two lines. The Specialist then had a dig around in her eye and pulled out a piece of fabric and put it on a piece of paper that even my mum could see with her bare eye! She went back to the board and read the entire thing without her glasses! The specialist even commented on what good eyesight she had! Naturally I am truly delighted but why hadn't anyone else seen it and it makes me cross that she has had to suffer for four months, not to mention all the money involved! Maybe its not just the NHS that don't always get it right? I am giving them all the benefit of the doubt that it was just impossible to see but its pretty scarey stuff isn't it?!
The day continued to be good. The weather got up to 25 degrees and sunny! I had a trip to my favourite market at San Isidro and a new stall had sprung up. A man selling L Ordeal make up for 1 and 2 euros! I'm sure its the real stuff but I wouldn't like to say where it came from! Naturally and with a face like mine I bought a lot ( still hoping for miracles!)
The sun was almost too hot to sit in so I went for a bike ride around the site. Well that was a bit of a joke really to call it a bike ride. It took me two hours but I did talk to lots of nice people and had a cup of tea! Oh yes the bus that I pictured leaving apparently the reason that they left was because their dog didn't like it here?! Well if that's true I've heard it all now! Many people are concerned about their great price hike. Everyone seems to be on different deals. As I was caravan number four on here I did get as heavily discounted rate but in fairness not even a toilet block was open and we wild camped on a pitch! We then had to put up with diggers,tractors and the like for a long time. It was like living on a building site but we had faith that things would get better and they did. We really couldn't expect those rates forever. Its not fair to compare to UK prices but its still very competitively priced in Spain. Go to France, where there is seasonal sunshine and see those prices! I guess that Marjal are a business and they now have enough customers to put the prices up. There are several things here that I don't like but I think its still excellent value for money.  That is unless there is another price rise around the corner that I don't know about! I just wish that we had the opportunity to use the facilities that we are paying for and not allow the Unfriendly Club to take over!
We had a lovely surprise yesterday. I had a new addition to my family

I gave a lady on here some material and look how she repaid me! How lovely. Her name is Mini Molly! Not the lady that made it-the name of the doll!

I also foolishly entered the Great British Sewing Bee Competition but don't hold your breath folks the application form was a nightmare!

Omg its going to be another scorthcher and I am left babysitting again..sh@@ happerns-have a good day!
