Muddy Marge

 West Lulworth

A nice surprise this morning. When we opened Marge's blinds our friends Trudy and Andrew were parked in front of us. They'd come over to Falmouth to walk their dogs and treat us to breakfast. A very nice breakfast it was as well, hot drinks and bacon and egg/mushroom baps from the cafe at Gyllyngvase beach. We hurriedly re-arranged Marge, making room for us all to sit inside (window and door open for ventilation), and chatted contently. what a great start to our last morning. Thank you, Trudy and Andrew. Our treat next time. 

Just before noon, it was time to point Marge eastwards and set off on our return journey. We'd enjoyed our time in Cornwall made all the more enjoyable for seeing our friends. A quick stop at Tesco in Truro for a few groceries and five 5 litre containers of water to top up Marge's tank.

We were heading towards Bridport which we'd planned as our overnight stop. Arriving there around 4.30 pm we both didn't feel happy about staying so we moved on to Weymouth. The journey to Bridport had been a little challenging. Marge had been fine, excelling herself, but the wind was strong, gusting across the dual carriageways challenging Angela who had to keep Marge, who is three metres tall from not getting caught unawares by the wind. Weymouth was a no go as well. last night it was reported that fifteen vans stayed overnight at the pier car park, this evening just a few, and the occupants of the two we spoke to were not staying, so we took a look at the park4night app and found a stop at West Lulworth by the church, which is where we park the car when we visit Lulworth Cove. So that's where we are now after travelling through three counties. The wind is very strong, reportedly gusting at 60 mph. Marge is shaking, we are shaking! Thank God we are not on the campsite up on the cliff top at nearby Durdle Door. Who would believe that yesterday was shorts weather and today winter coats? It is undoubtably going to be a noisy night, with the wind set to continue through tomorrow despite the return of the sunshine. Roll on Wednesday when the weather will settle.
