Days 1 and 2 have been and gone and I’m as far as Ashgrove Caravan Park. Oh well, at least I’m getting settled into the Betty bus, sorting my cupboards and trying to work out how to turn everything on etc etc.
My darling friend, Denise, arrived at the park on Monday, amid chaos, with sangers, juice and hugs for a ‘little bit teary’ me after just leaving River Place. Thanks so much, hon, I was really feeling bizarre and your support was much needed.
Since then, I’ve had a very constructive trip to both Bunnings and BCF and am now the proud owner of 2 new camp chairs.
Some wonderful friends (Margi, Keith, Lynne, Graham) arrived last night complete with table, tablecloth, candles, glasses, wine, food, chairs etc etc etc. I had a really delicious curry dinner followed by the yummiest lime and pistachio cake (still warm from the baking) and icecream. What a great first night’s dinner. Fabulous food, great company, plenty of laughs! Visitors are not meant to bring their vehicles into the park, but they said they were bringing so many goodies to “Australia’s newest Grey Nomad” that they needed to drive in. Park Management obliged I’m happy to say! Thanks guys for a truly memorable night.
Heading off to Margaritaville (ie Rob’s) tomorrow for a couple of days.
If your travels are like Norman Lindsay’s Magic Pudding, you are in for a great adventure.
Go girl you are on your way. A nomad Virgin no longer.
Losing your nomad virginity sounds like its was a breeze. Now you’re off to have sensual, surprising and scintillating sojourns. wind beneath your wings dear one!
