Who doesn't love a posh loo

I met up with Candy and Eliza this week on my day off at a very cute Victorian house that has been turned into a cafe/restaurant and the surrounding gardens into a garden centre. Eliza's face lit up as soon as she saw me and I realised how much I've missed both her and Cassidy and how much more it makes me miss Aeryn and Zephyr. We shared a coffee and events and occurrences of the past month and talked a lot about our upcoming travels. Eliza was not so impressed with being in a high chair with with open display cabinets of jewellery and glassware only a metre away it was the safest option for her, the shop and Candy's bank balance. The toilets were so incredibly posh. Kath would of loved the duck figures outside on the door. I was so taken aback by the women's powder room, as I should probably call it, that I almost very nearly risked popping my head into the gents to check theirs out. I've already decided I will be returning with Nick just so I can see some photographic evidence of the male toilets. Nick finished working on Saturday and I have to say I am rather jealous! He's already being very productive with planning, cleaning and generally sorting things out for the next step of our travels. It's rather lucky because when it came to looking at accommodation for the time between us leaving and when we get our campervan I had an awful migraine. He was awesome and found 6 great places on a route he'd planned out and just got me to give them the once over when I felt up to it. Although it's a shame we won't have the campervan upfront it's nice we will have the luxury of staying in a few airbnbs before hand. I recently invested in Boggle as another game we will be able to take around with us to play on the road. Nick's not really got the hang of all the things to look out for yet (always checking if an S could be added on to a word, that sort of thing) but he does seem to enjoy the challenge of learning. We've got a nice collection of games together now to give us something to do in the evenings. Work has been rather busy building up to easter and because we have a girl off work with whooping cough. I've been doing more and more cooking of the breakfasts to help out in the morning when Georgina is busy making sandwiches and I haven't poisoned anybody yet which is always a bonus. We're very much on a countdown to leaving and it's quite surreal to even think that we will be going around the country for 3 and a half months. I don't think it'll feel real until we are on the road leaving Geraldine finally behind us, for now anyway.Les mer
