Erm, and we were feeling pretty desperate by now. I bet you were. So back we went to the camp-site and we were going to beg. Please, may we stay tonight and worry (Mm) about it tomorrow? (Mm) you see. And when we got back, they said, there's been a phone call, would you go to this address? Er, someone has found your folder.

So... How would anybody who'd found your folder have phoned, the fact, the camp-site? Right, well, this is what we discovered. We were worried, because someone might have found it (mm), and we might get our passport, but what about our money, you know, (Quite, yeah) So we went to the address (Mm), and it was a little cycle-repair shop kept by two brothers, and they told us that they had seen us driving up the road to the camp-site.

We had swung round a corner (Mm) and the folder had flown off the top of the car. We'd obviously left it (Yes) there at the garage, and it had fallen at their feet. (Good heavens) They saw the tent and camping stuff (Yeah) on top of the car.

They saw which way we were going, they guessed we were going to the camp-site because it was just a country lane (Mm) and they telephoned. Weren't we lucky? And we got there they said, would we check that everything was there, and certainly everything was there, nothing gone.

And we were so pleased, we'd only got one piece of, erm, French currency, it was on a large-value note, a number of pounds. Erm, and we knew that we had to live till Monday. So we asked them if they could change this note for us. Erm, the man sent a small boy to another shop to get change (Yes) and he came back with two equal value notes. He'd split it in half if you like.

So we gave them half (Yeah) and we went back to the camp-site and put up our tent and installed ourselves and then we went out and spent the other half on a celebration. Erm, and of course, we had money all day Sunday (yes) and had to spend day eating bread and... But you felt rich, because you'd got everything back. Indeed, we were so relieved. How terribly lucky, though, what a lucky story.
