Oooooops, I didn't realize it is already another week gone.

So, you can see, times flies when you are having fun.

On Saturday the team arrived and they started straight away to put up all the frames.

The frame of my Villa!

And then........ they took two days off!!! The last week they worked more than 60 hours, they really needed a rest. Some of them went to Monaco, the rest stayed on the site, but I did not see much of them.

Finally I received a box with material, so I was able to work on the brochures I need to put in the tents.

On tuesday morning 9:00 the team was busy with putting the canvas on the tents.

Now it starts to look like a small village. I have been walking around trying to 'map' the tents and to number them, with this map I could plan the guests, especially the ones who had special requests.

The first tent is going to be my 'office', the reception. My living tent and Stef's tent are standing opposite. Luckily the boys put it up with the front door away from the other tents, so the guests won't see when I open or close my tent. We were already joking about it, when they turned the tent around. 'Don't you want all your guests shouting good morning to you?' No. Thanks.

While the team was busy pinning the tents and putting the floors I started to hang in the ceilings. This was not sooo easy, I had to climb on a chair to reach the top all the time. I am sure I had my exercise!!!

The next step was hanging the cabins.

Curtains and it looked better.

When they started to place the tables, I put them all together,(62 pieces!) so later they can put the boxes with the inventory ON the tables, saves us a lot of bending over later.

The tent next to my reception we are using in the beginning for all the inventory. Normally everything ends up in the receptiontent, but then I could not move anymore.

You see what I mean?

For lunch I joined the team, now it is more fun, all working and joking together. Also in the evening I joined them for diner. They are cooking on turn and they invited me as well. Nice.

At 21:00 four of them came to my caravan, to watch football. It was a late night, about 00:30 the last few left, after finishing off a whole bottle of Brandy!!!! Ooff, that was not such a good idea, starting at 09:00 again today.

Today we achieved a lot: all the cabins are hanging and because they were late on the site and I have so much work left to do, they helped me big time with putting the doublebeds IN the cabins for me. Thanks guys!

Tomorrow they will do a few more rides from the storage and spread out all the inventory over all the tents and then in the afternoon they will move on to the next camping.

Will be quiet again. Stef still was not able to fly, hopefully his flight of Fridaymorning will not be canceled so he will arrive in the evening.

Then on Saturday we can 'fix' our tents and I will move out of the caravan. It will be much easier to be downstairs close to the tents and then we have to 'build' up everything else. Today we made one tent ready, so I know now how and what to do.

Again diner with the team and again a few are here watching football again.

For sure I will sleep like a baby tonight, I wonder how my body will be tomorrow morning, it was a hard days work today!

Stef and I have only 1 week to get 20 tents ready for the first arrivals! But, in the week of the 10th of May we have no new arrivals and we can take it a bit more easy.

Well, that's all for now. To be honest I do not have much inspiration to write funny or entertaining, it is just summing up the jobs we have done.

Will be back on the blog soon!!!!!
