Day 19 - Marton

This morning it was time to get on the road again. Nice spending some time with Denys. We have done pretty well with being together for Kings Birthday and then she came down for my birthday.
My first stop today was at Foxton Beach. Always good to see Di and Stephen. Stephen and I were in the Air Force together. Bluffy too. I thought I would only go for morning tea but there still seemed things to catch up on so I sent a txt to Mike and said I am delayed and will catch up tomorrow.
Lovely lunch and then Stephen was able to help a single white female travelling alone. My top drawer in the camper couldn't be opened. The chopping boards had moved and lodged in the wrong place so Stephen was able to skillfully move them so the drawer could be opened. Needless to say they will not go back in the drawer so I won't have that problem again.
Then as a true kiwi bloke he got too and washed the road work grim off the camper. Very happy to see my campervan all clean again. Well less dirty.
It was then on to Marton. I stopped at New World to get something for my meal tonight. So lovely and warm I will have a salad.
When I first got out of the Air Force I worked in a bedspread factory in Marton for a short time before I became a postie here. Good memories.
