Camper Back

I did manage to sleep well last night in a house bed. Not many other options.
This morning I txt the camper place so they had my number and didn't have to hunt for it. They have been poor at communicating so I wanted to ensure they didn't have any excuse.
It was quite early - maybe around 10am they txted to say camper was all good.
Carolyn took me over around 11-30. The camper was still in the garage and the young chap backed it out for me. I didn't think it would be too difficult but he had a couple of goes so pleased I didn't give it a try.
The super duper thing I noticed when I started driving back to Carolyn's was the fuel gauge was working!! I did thank the universe!
I reckon it was a wiring fault and when they fixed the temp gauge the tank was linking and so both are working.
Will make travelling easier although I will watch it very carefully for the next wee while, just to make sure.
This afternoon I went to visit my Dad's cousin. John is coming 96 - still of very sound mind even if his body gives him a little strife. John is great to have a conversation with and a couple of hours can go in a flash.
This afternoon I asked him if he would be happy for me to video him talking about his life. So often I have wanted to do this but this trip I put my money where my mouth is, as the expression goes. No prep and John was great.
We spent a couple of hours recording John's memories of Orepuki and his life since then. I will return tomorrow and get some more of our history on video for the future generations to watch when John is no longer around.
Only a couple of pics today. More tomorrowRead more
