Thursday, 10th April
Another beautiful yet frosty day. Market day in Delft – we like a market!
Having said that, the market was okay, but nothing special. The usual fare of cheese, meat, bric-a-brac, clothing, although we were tempted by some lovely plant pots for €2.50 each, so we had to buy two. And then go back for another, bigger one, for €5. By which time we needed a coffee.
I had to try the local apple cake, which came with cream and an artistic squirt of chocolate sauce, all of which were very nice. And eventually we remembered that the male lead in “Gone With The Wind” was Clark Gable. Long story.
Weighed down by plant pots and pie, we cycled slowly back to the campsite, and read for a while, before cycling urges got the better of us, and we went for a jolly around the local Delfteshout nature reserve area.
We were happy to see another UK-registered Chausson (a Welcome 75) parked next to us when we got back. They’d even bought it from the same dealer as us (picked theirs up the month after we’d got ours), but they’d had problems with one ring of their Smev hob, which had yet to be fixed to their satisfaction. We were happy to report to them that ours worked very well indeed, and I’m sure they were very happy in that knowledge.
