A day on the farm 1

We ended yesterday with "Toot please".
Today we want to share our rustic experience with you.
A tall, smiling young man opened the gates, with a cheery "Welcome" and instantly we were captivated by our surroundings.
Koudya Gardens is an 80 hectare working farm, growing oranges, tangerines and sweet corn for export to Britain and Denmark. The owner is a French man, who decided to turn one small corner of his land into a campsite for motorhomes  and installed all the facilities. So today's pictures are our day on the farm.

Oops, sorry about this, a woman in pantaloons, taking her washing down to the river, walked into my post.We  were directed to reception. Having done the paper work, which is rather like completing an immigration form every time you stop over, we went and chose our spot. So much space for each unit. We could spread out, use carpet, tables and all our chairs, plus shade trees which double up as washing line supports.

  Time to have a nose around this rustic pied d' terre. There are clean loos and showers and a flight of steps from which to view the farm.

Here are some of the acres of tangerine trees and the distant hills, are where the 80 hectares ends.There are gravel pathways that meander through the gardens and tantalising views through stone archways into secret gardens.

A shaded courtyard, where I'm sitting now, is good for the wifi reception. To our delight, we were even allowed to use the family pool. One of us has done total immersion but the other Intrepid has not. Send a stamped and addressed envelope for the answer. At this point, it appears to be wine o' clock so we'll get back to you shortly.
