Local Campsite

I think I’ve already mentionned a Franco-English Christian couple who are in the process of buying a campsite not far from us. We haven’t heard from them, but it seems that things are moving forward, if one is to believe the local papers. Here is what todays Ouest-France was writing:

Le camping va reprendre du service

Fermé depuis l’été 2009, le camping de Milin Kerhé va reprendre vie. Sous l’impulsion d’un jeune couple franco-anglais de 29 ans, il devrait même faire peau neuve, au fil des ans. « Leur projet fourmille d’idées, rapportent les élus, enthousiastes. Outre le réaménagement de l’espace campeurs et sanitaires, le couple envisage d’y installer des yourtes et des chalets, de façon à faire vivre le camping une bonne partie de l’année. » Pêche, kayak, rando, espace enfants… Autant d’activités de loisirs que les acquéreurs comptent y développer. Ils ont également l’intention de mettre sur pied une partie restauration-épicerie de dépannage. Et « de remettre en état la roue de l’ancien moulin pour produire de l’électricité, sur les conseils d’un parent, ingénieur ». Le camping étant un équipement communautaire, les élus ont voté hier soir son prix de vente, fixé à 89 000 €. Ouverture des lieux prévue dès l’été prochain.

The laptop has arrived

Our laptop was getting older. We bought it in the spring of 2006. It is still going strong, but it has become very slow, and the battery doesn’t hold that well. We’ll keep it for the children to use.

We tought it would be good to get a new one. It means we have a spare computer for Esther to use when she wants to, and I can use it in the library or when I travel, or watch TV…

After ordering it, I realised that it was shipped directly from China to our home. I had assumed the company had stock in Europe. So, the laptop has travelled over 7000 miles to get to us. It has been through Korea, Kazakstan, Poland and Germany before arriving in France.

I have started setting it up, ready for my trip to the UK at the end of next week.
