Really slept well, John says its cuz we are back on the floor, I m not so convinced, but I did sleep the night ....
Had pancakes with maple syrup and Bananas for breakfast, you make them in a bottle with water, yum, yum, flippin yum. Roxanne tells me they sale them in Tesco's??? I'll be buying some if they do.
We shower and decide to take the bike into town. So off we go out the gate and turn left, well actually I tell John I think it was a right. So he turns round, bless him, we drive through the road works down to the roundabout and I see the signs for 'city' ummmmm, Did't wanna do City John ... ok we'll turn round. Round the roundabout, back through the road works. Down to the bay ummmmmm. One coffee shop, and you can't smoke! So we have a latte and John asks where to next ? ummmm City? He knows me so well, he's all smiles bless him and back on the bike, through the road works (long queues!!!! I kid you not ) up to the round about, turn right and into the ....... CITY not !!! Well more like a small town actually, but it seems to have everything. We go and buy some rolls and knackies (frankfurters to you) and some bits for brekkie tomorrow. Treat ourselves to KFC, should not of bothered, both feeling bloated and fat now !
I spot a clothes shop and a couple of second hand shops, off we trot. Fair to say John has the patience of a saint. I am not allowed to buy as no room, oh and I am so bloody itching to buy something, anything....
I buy two pillow cases for $1, yes 1$ and then into the jumper shop where I see a lovely teeshirt. John sits outside, I have the wallet hehehehe. Out I come bag hidden. Buy anything he asks ? nope I reply, (fingers and legs crossed). We get half way up the road I am doing well (I think....), trying to squash the shops bag in the back of me shorts. Yes he spotted it !!!!
Did't buy anything then ??? nope I ansa, oh really ???? nope I laugh. Bang to rights he spots the flipping bag and top. Well he says, 'new top, one out one in, so decide whats being chucked !!!!!'' Whats a girl got to do to get a wardrobe these days??.. cuz camping aint the ansa. Still silence and a quick change of subject usually works. So we will say no more ( accept I have a new top xxx)
Back to the camp, through the road works... John is going to wash Ruby down as she is looking sorry, I will catch up with emails and post cards etc.. nice relaxing afternoon.
I go on line and see that Steven is on line ??? this 8 hours ahead lark!, well actually Steven tells us he leaves his internet thingy in sleep mode all the time, so 7am for him and we are skyping. Up gets Oliver and Joins in. He has had his hair cut and looks flipping handsome. xx All is well in Herts too so thats all good.
We decide to take a walk to the beach, but are delayed by the people who meander by and spot the bike, which slows John and his cleaning down. We eventually get away and walk through the bush to the beach and what do you know the tides in '!!! so we wander along the cove road, its lovely see the piccies they don't do it justice. We find the back entrance to the camp, and realise we walked the long way there.
Just got back and the phone goes. Its Helen, one of the people we met in Kingston. We made friends with her and her husband Lionel, their the couple with the 6000 acre farm !!!!. It was great to hear from her and how lovely that she thought of us. They are both heading toward mid 70's but very active and very keen sea fishers. We have a long chat and lots of giggles. We are gonna keep in touch. She is very impressed with how far we have got!
Ok, relax and chill have a read, eat some choccie, cup of tea, cup of coffee ( yes I did make them), and then tea in about an hour.
So I am gonna sign off now. Rubys clean, the pod (the trailer) is sparkling, the tent is tidy, Johns got fags, I have choccies and we are both happy bunnies and all is well with the kids and the world.
Here come the piccies;
Ok, remember Dave???. This is him. he's a seagull. Really comical, very smart, very upright and he runs nearly everywhere he goes. He came for breakfast this morning and had pancakes with us lol. He is always so clean, crisp and tidy he reminds us of Dave W. I will say no more as I know I'm
