So then I invited the whole park ...

To party with us under the awning at 4.30pm.
BYO
I went from van to van and just invited people.
Mainly, the people I knew from the park, but I am sure I invited some total strangers,
They were very polite and quite a few turned up.

Emily worked again til 3pm.
We wandered the water again.
Thought we were going to swim, but played in the creek instead.

Emily cooked a few sausages.
( We had forgotten lunch.)
People walking past were stopping to talk.
One lady told her husband that is exactly what I want my caravan to look like on my birthday on Monday!

A couple I talked to turned out to be the parents of one of Meagan’s best friends.
It’s amazing how the conversation seems to work it’s way round to something like that.
Having a good time?
Berwick.
Oh. Narre Warren
More stuff....
Then, my children probably went to school with Emily. No they are a bit younger.
They went to school in Pakenham.
My niece and nephew went there. Meagan and Nathan Street.
MEAGAN...... MEAGAN STREET?
She’s best friends with our daughter, Anna.

Wow.
We could have just talked about the weather.

People started to arrive.
About a dozen or 14 came in the end.
We had a great time.
Much laughter.
Caravan park recommendations.
What site have you got for next year?
And a rather rousing rendition of Happy Birthday was sung.

As it drew to a close, Reece the young man in charge of the park tonight came up and wished Emily a Happy Birthday and said he was glad most people had left because he was going to have to remind us about social distancing otherwise.
And just chatting was much more fun.

The last people left about 6.30pm.
It was a lovely, friendly afternoon/evening.

Pork chops for dinner.

Much hugging.
Great day!

Happy Birthday Emily xxxxxxRead more
