School Holidays

Now that all the schools across the UK are now on holiday, this should be the time the campsite springs into life and is absolutely packed with punters. Except its not. OK, so there is one or two around, but it's hardly bursting at the seams.

I was pre-warned by Alex about a certain young group of males who were causing a nuisance on the site. Aside from kicking a football around outside the main reception area, much to Alex's annoyance, they were standing around outside the entrance to the shop asking everyone and anyone who entered to buy them cigarettes. Once Alex got wind of their little scheme, he sent them on their way. Only, he didn't see which way they went. I was then asked to track down three young males ("Two medium, one small") and find out which group they were with. Facing a near-impossible task, I set off around the park.

Apart from the little congregation which had gathered in one of the laundry rooms in the amenities block, the entire site was quiet. It remained that way for the entire night.

As it is 'that time of year', there are a lot of little baby rabbits running around the site. I would have counted them, had I not already been given an impossible task for the evening, but I decided against it. There is now one less baby rabbit running around on the campsite, no thanks to a dark brown cat. Whilst I was walking around one of the fields, I noticed the cat with something in its mouth. It was only when I got closer to the cat that I noticed the grey, furry thing hanging limply from its mouth was one of the baby rabbits. The ironic thing is; the cat had one of those bells to alert birds to the fact a cat was nearby. The baby rabbit must have been transfixed by the jangling, that it was an easy target for the cat. I did chase it, but it kept its breakfast at all times.

Other than that, it was a peaceful night all round.
