Ravensthorpe

Come straight here from Lake King. This is our chosen spot to 'bunker down' for the hot day happening today. Even as we select our own site here - guessing No 23 (haven't really worked out its numbering) - can tell even at this time of day it's going to be horrible weather. On setting up we don't worry about the mat or putting out the awning (too windy). I have a quick look around our area in this park - amenities fine, before going into the caravan and having a cuppa with Roger.
Next we decide to drive back into Ravensthorpe and have a look around. I want to get to the Post Office as I have parcels to send off.
We return 11.30am, happy to 'hibernate' in our van with the air-conditioning. Lunch today - toasted sandwiches in the microwave toaster with yoyo biscuits and fruit.
Read and relax - afternoon smoko cuppa and fancy block of chocolate - shared! Continue to read and relax. Once cools down in the afternoon - Roger goes and watches news on the TV in rhe camp kitchen. I get a lovely phonecall from Stacy - catch up chat and work out what do do about Frankie and Annabelle's returned Christmas gift. I get updated address from Jane. Roger uses the BBQ in camp kitchen to cook duck sausages and our airfryer for potato chips, I cut up some salad to have with these. Walkers Mince pies for dessert, then more relaxing before bedtime - with Roger having his shower and we'll tidy up and do dishes.
18/01/25 Saturday We both get up at 6.30am. We decide to wash our sheets and towels this morning - so get the bed stripped and remade with spare clean sheets. Get the load of washing going, then get my Thermomix making my porridge while I go take a shower. Come back, have breakfast, tidy up, do dishes. Roger has prepared our packed lunch - sandwiches, apples and yoyo biscuits - so once we organised off we go to have a day out checking Hopetoun and surrounds. Leave around 8.30am.
Get back to our caravan around 5pm. Roger prepares our tea, while I get our dry washing off the line, folded and put away. For tea tonight Roger has sliced up the leftover duck sausages and cooks them with a stack of chopped up vegetables - stir-fry method, with some seasonings. Very nice. We follow with dessert of a Walker's mince pie each with custard (Thermomix). Roger goes has his shower, I do the dishes, now relaxing before bedtime. Roger reading, I'm writing this.
19/01/25 Sunday We get up around 6.30am, I decide to go for a run - just do blocks around the town. Get back to find Roger has the caravan hitched to the ute, getting well in hand to leave this morning. He also has my porridge cooking in the Thermomix, so I tidy up and get organised to go for my shower once breakfast is done. That's what happens, then we finish up our pack up routine and away we go - around 9am.Read more
