Woken by a Wood Chipper at the Campsite (Would You Stay or Go?) 

That's very kind to say so, thanks. We definitely made the right decision to move on 👍💕🐾

We are retired too, and usually up at 6am to take the dog out, but after a late night we fancied a long lie in 💤 🛏 😴

I was being diplomatic, Tricia is far less so 🤣👍💕🐾

Well, the site only just recently opened for the season so they really should have taken care of that before now. Anyway, like you say, it does not happen all the time, just had tobe on one of the few days where we were having a long lie. Typical 🙄

Thanks Gill, glad to noticed it was a joint decision 😉

You should have been a judge mate, I wouldn't argue with your ruling on that one👍💕🐾🤣

Thanks, yes it was amazing to see all that history 👍💕🐾

Yes definitely the right decision to move on, don't know why they couldn't have done that before the site opened for the season 😕

If they had told us when we were booking then we could have went elsewhere but I guess they didn't because they still want people to come. They really should have done it before opening the site for the season.

@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot Sadly planning between the various parties for these things sometimes doesn't go so well. Last year the mairie closed our main street from the Summer holidays till November. It seems they didn't liase with the bus companies for when the kids went back to school. So my two kids (daughter at college and son at Lycée) had problems. Buses going round the bypass and missing their stops. Or they were dropped off in a dangerous place before the village. I had a grumble on the mairie FB page. The day after a haphazard sign had been sellotaped to the "route fermée" panel. Reading "sauf autobus" (except buses). I don't think it was my grumble that resulted in that, but I guess there were a lot of annoyed parents. We once booked a cabin in the Jura, only to find there was another under construction just down the incline from us. Nothing was happening, then sure enough 2 days later, hammering and nailgunning started up. Then found out the owner of our cabin was the village mayor. Law unto themselves. Sorry about your stay, but sadly it is just how things are. I still get annoyed as well, because after all I'm still a Brit and that is the way we see things isn't it?

@@MegaBreadvan yes exactly, we expect common sense to prevail with these things and express our frustration when it doesn't 🙄

Thanks, it was one of our favourite stops, apart from the chipper that is 👍

Thanks Diana, what you mean you agree with Tricia? Didn't you notice it was a joint decision? 😉

Yes she definitely is a SWAMBO, wait till I tell her that one🤣

Thanks, I nearly flew into the crane though, had to veer off to the left quickly.

Thanks, it was meant to be a long lie for us, but no such luck👍

Ha ha, good one Sue 🤣👍💕🐾

Well said 👍

Yep, it's great when Keira gets to come, she even got into the museum which we didn't expect 👍🐾💕

Yep the history and architecture were something else, glad you supported the "joint " decision 👍

Hi James, yep always a joint decision 👍as I'm sure you fully appreciate 🤣

Ah, but which one?🤣

Fair enough if we had known about it in advance, but they don't tell you because they know you will go elsewhere and they will not get their money.

@@MikeandTriciaOotnAboot if only I could even sleep until 8 I would be super happy 🤣. Mind you it was a really irritating noise, you would never have known Tricia was irritated though as she hid it so well....😁

@@brianridley1102 yes she is good at that🤣

They are, but prize goes to the aussies, a wee bit of cold weather and they moan for days.

Thanks and yes we sure did have a great day out and it was definitely the right thing to do to move on👍🐾💕

Yes interesting, the early settlers would have known the hats from their origins and then just used what ever material was available to them...beaver.👍

Yep, it sure was a joint one😉🤣

Ah so you noticed the joint decision did you? 🤣. The museum and castle sure were great 👍

Yo!

Absolutely a joint decision 😉

The type of pruning on the trees is called pollarding to reduce the height for aesthetics, it can be done any time over the winter and early spring before regrowth starts so they should have done it before the site opened for the season or they could have closed the site on these days or made people aware when booking, or at the very least put notices up. People go to these sites for peace and quiet, and it was going on all day, this was not simple grass cutting, also they blocked off the service points for water can emptying toilet cassettes.

I would of moaned all day long 😊

This is a holiday site,end of story. People pay for a break and a rest. This job could have been done during the winter close down.. 12 noon would of been crap.. Very poor decision by the site owners.. I bet there was no reduction in the rates..

@@Only-one-life-68 some people complain about everything...even when the people in the camping unit next to them give off a loud fart they would complain

@@Only-one-life-68 correct, no reduction in fee and no mention on the app when we booked it.
