Ahh, same one I have booked then. Looked like it had good access to Avignon too on the boat across the river.This one:

Yes, it's an easy walk into town too. If you have bikes, then it's easy and safe to explore the island.

Great, thanks. No bikes be with us though. As long as we can walk out to eat and drink we’ll be happy!
That worked a treat.
Now I just need to find a way to dissuade the starlings from nesting in the same place next year.

A pair of night vision goggles (to catch ‘em while they’re roosting - they’re a hard shot in flight) a nice bottle of red, a camping chair and an air-rifle should do the trick mate. Always happy to help with detailing advice
Early hop on Le Shuttle this morning, then a lengthy hack through France to Il de Re (little island accessed by the mother of all road bridges just by La Rochelle).
Long day in the saddle, but mirror finish French toll road tarmac, combined with not much traffic and adaptive cruise control made the journey an enjoyable doddle.
Love a good road trip - and have to say the van chewed up the miles in a very comfortable way - a proper Grand Tourer!
Currently sat outside my beach chalet (‘er indoors and the nippers tucked up in bed) enjoying the lap of the waves and a nice cold French beer. Dip in the sea first thing tomorrow me’thinks

. I was thinking along the lines of a roll of chicken wire in the guttering.
Cultybraggan Camp open day in Comrie. It used to be a WW2 Nazi prisoner or war camp, guarded by Polish soldier, as they weren't afraid of offing a few if they tried to escape. Then it became an army training camp until the early 2000s. Then it was sold to the local community in 2007 who have been using it for small business (in the nissen huts) and community garden/allotments, as well as local groups like the Dull Men's club and Scouts etc...
Lots of old military vehicles and people dressed up as soldiers from medieval through to the Erskine Regt (est. 1764?) through to relatively modern day WW1 soldiers (allies and Germans) with all the vehicles (except tanks) associated with them. Lovely sunny warm day, but long grass carpark so we have been checking each other for ticks etc...

Enjoying the absolutely stunning sunset at Rhossili
Went to Southport beach for the day.
I would be interested to hear what the food and drink are like? Does it have electric hookup? Dogs allowed?
Saturday morning from Derby to Great Yarmouth and back today, crazy traffic going there but surprisingly quiet coming back 
Southport is up the road from me. I got stuck on the beach and had to be towed off, be careful mate
That’s a long way to go for Great Yarmouth! Was in the area last year so visited for the first time in decades and was shocked at how much it had declined. It was a teenage stomping ground and I have fond memories but I won’t be rushing back! Your pics look great though.Saturday morning from Derby to Great Yarmouth and back today, crazy traffic going there but surprisingly quiet coming back
