EASTER AT WOODGATE

Well we have finally got away for the first trip in our caravan. We are at Woodgate Caravan and Camping. We have an unpowered site. There are toilets and showers. Very quiet currently but we imagine it will be a lot busier by tomorrow. There is an 8pm curfew for noise here and we appreciate that. Our friends Kathy and Mick are here with us until Monday.

We spent Sunday packing the car and van. We have everything we need and not filled every cupboard or cavity. Its heaven after years of trailers, tents and camper trailers. We already had our system down pat that suits us both. But now its just quicker to set up. Its like magic.

So much to learn but its thrilling and great for our brains to try new things and look at things differently.

The blankets are all over the windscreen and windows because as soon as we arrived we were bombarded by minor birds and they were picking at the rubber at window. Crazy. We covered it all up and they went away. Never seen so many and such intense behaviour.

It's the end of the day and we are all tucked up in bed. The midges are really bad here today and tonight. But the caravan is screened and there are no midges in here. Very grateful.

Tomorrow my plans are to do an art meditation. Do some pencil sketching and pen and wash. Probably a few games of rummy and yatzee. Hope Mick can catch a fish.

AND I LOVE MY FRIDGES. No ice. No esky. So easy. It really is a palace. Very grateful.

So on that note. Goodnight.Read more
