Winter Camping at Marjal Eco Resort nearly a month on!

Well people keep asking me why I havent blogged for ages. The truth of the matter is that there is little to blog out about as there is very little going on and I dont like to be negative. We came here originally when the site opened because the facilities were great snd we had lots of friends and a good social scene here...oh dear how things have changed. Yes we have lots of friends here but I think that the campsite is losing its will to live!
I went to Happy Hour last week as its one of the few evening events on and that was anything but happy so I will give the birthday celebrations of Marjal a go. Whats on?!! I really couldnt make this up!

Yes thats right a model railway! Save me! As usual it was aimed at the kids. Apparantly it was a ride. There again was entertainment that started at 10pm and all in spanish/ Hellooooo who are your biggest customers at this time of the year?! Certainly not the spanish who only come at weekends! Who and what age group spend the most money?!  So to all my friends I hoped that you enjoyed the model railway!
We have been eating out a lot as we have also given up on the restaurant here as its never open and when it is the food is of a variable standard. Last night we tried..

Dont asl me to pronounce ot but it was near Beijofar

Please not the healthy option! It didnt last long though,,,,,

Home made warm chocolate fudge cake with ise cream after beef Bourgnion and half a bottle of good red wine all for 14.95! This place is certainly more sophisticated than the British Bars and restaurants around and is not a "cheap and cheerful" and not at the other extreme but certainly somewhere mid stream. Excellent food, well presented and great service. I think its British owned but it is definately a mediterranean menu and sooooo much  choice! We will definately will be going back there. Who wants to be blooming cooking?! Apparantly it is advisable to book and I can see why! 

Oh Ive just seen that there is actually something on in the restaurrsnt here tonight! Telepathy! A Dutch Dance with buffet. They say its International?! Starting at a reasonable european time 8pm! Might give it a go..do I give up my model trains and go and start polishing my clogs or just fill my face>! Ya ya! You see Im fluent in Dutch too! Have a good day!

Winter Camping at Los Madriles Mazzaron-Im on another planet!

Well the rate things are going I'm beginning to think that I want to be or is it an age thing?
Yesterday morning it was not sunny but there was a bit of a breeze. A great day to do some washing. I got my little twin tub machine out and off I went at a great speed of knots. Suddenly there was an army of men around me ( I thought my luck had changed!) " you can't do that here. You will get thrown off!" Why? What have I done? 'I haven't taken water from the toilet blocks. I've heated my own up using my own gas' Oooo'not allowed. If anyone sees your washing machine you will get thrown off. He might not throw you off first time as you didn't know but by heck if he knows you be got one of those!" I really couldn't believe my ears. I think I would have been in less trouble if I sat here selling heroin! It was so funny. Like a naughty school kid I hurriedly put everything away and destroyed all evidence by putting everything in the back of my car. Heaven only knows what would have happened if I did hand washing or an automatic washing machine! I like this place but I do think that is more than a little OTT. Hang my head in shame but I have clean clothes! That's the first site that has ever happened to me!
OK so today is another day. I check Facebook to find out what everyone's up to and that's it ....confirmed. World gone mad!

Is it April 1st?! I am beginning to dislike the Scots for causing all this stupidity! I had noticed and commented recently that there was suddenly a surge of Yorkshire jokes and propaganda. I love some of the jokes. We have the ability to laugh at ourselves and as far as I'm concerned its always been FUN! I know we have as many people as Scotland and more than Wales. We are richer than both of  them...We may not have oil but who wants oil when we have Aunt Bessies Yorkshire Puddings and even our own chocolate factories and tea! The only thing ,missing is a vineyard but I'm sure that sure as hell we can label something up as I've never seen them picking bloody tea in Yorkshire! The County is just about in the middle of bloody England! Geography made it that way.....hellooooo I'm bloody english! I am really beginning to think I'm the one going crackers! My mother is Scottish and my dad was a Yorkie. I was born in Yorkshire. Do I now have dual nationality?! Get a grip!
Oh dear that was nearly a rant but its just sheer stupidity. I'm not sure what the weathers going to do today. I'm determined at some point to get my kayak out. Oh no I could be living very dangerously......dare I? I may get thrown off this campsite.....I'm going to get my Marks and Spencers Travel Steam Iron out...when you want there to be a bloody rule I bet there isn't! Sh@t happens! Have a good day!
