"Oh, what a beautiful morning!"

"Oh, what a beautiful day!" This is why we came south. Light blue sky, dark blue sea. Fields of orange trees, some scruffy, others in rigid ranks with their heavy boughs propped up. Bright pink and purple bougainvillea. Tall grasses waving fluffy golden tops. Jagged mountains with little white houses clustered on the side. And best of all, warm sun. Blissful.

We made a swift departure this morning, hoping to get to our next stop while the sun was still shining. The usual crowd appeared to assist with getting off the pitch - I'm not sure how helpful this is, especially in numbers; but such was the ease of our exit that our one English neighbour commented Kevin could drive for a living. (He was very chuffed.) He managed a similarly fuss-free arrival on our new pitch: a smaller campsite on the edge of Javea Old Town, surrounded by orange groves and the enormous bulge of Mount Montgo - very pretty. We are here for five nights, our longest stay yet, as my parents arrive tomorrow for a long weekend (they've rented a wooden bungalow on site so we're all camping together, for the first time since I was five). So we've moved in properly: chosen a pitch with the sun in mind; unloaded the carpet and camping equipment; and even put together Jemima's mini-trampoline. I'll be buying a gnome next. Fingers crossed the sunshine lasts.

A quick morning trip to the play parque:

Said garden gnome (on the table - it lit up at night and everything):


We only went past Sam, but we thought of you!:
