Camus Calling Jessie MacQuarrie

Too young to settle in to full retirement and sharing a passion for caravanning Reg and Phyllis take up the position as wardens of a remote caravan site on the stunning West Coast of Scotland. Reg is more than qualified for his new role being a former Army Warrant Officer but has to quickly learn to adapt to the harsh realities of life in this isolated region. Phyllis loves to chat and proudly adds her own contribution to the site with her hanging baskets. They experience humorous stories involving caravanners visiting the site. They share in the dramas and delights of their guests. They learn much about the wildlife including loveable Norman, the highland cow. Making friends with their new neighbours and gaining a wealth of knowledge from locals offering help and advice, they learn to love the serene beauty of the landscape, the majestic wildlife and the deep routed history of the Highlands. They soon become settled and develop into their new role. All too quickly they experience a deep feeling of belonging. Will they ever be able to leave?
