Maybe not the swishest campsite, but it was great for us. We were camped about 170miles from Seabrook where we have just arrived. A day of high temperatures, picture postcard villages and endless traffic. After stopping at a campsite not far from Seabrook we turned down their offer of paying…
After a great night last night with friends, and friends of friends (Maria & Colin) and a sleep in a lovely house, we were up and after breakfast with Margaret, said our goodbye’s. A Land Rover connection which started with uncertainty, ended in triumph. The new rear stabiliser bushes proved…
We put the Caranex up saturated last night and it started raining as we were putting it up again last evening. Oh well, you take the rough with the smooth. The rain and dripping from the branches overhead, stopped around 5am, so we were able to open the roof vents…
Brilliant win to the Silver Ferns. Kiwi’s, World Cup Champions of Netball and Cricket in a week…:). I can hear the Pom’s muttering, “but we have the silverware for cricket”. Ah! You might have, but did you win? One run short seems to be the result. 🙂 Should it have…
As Jen mentioned yesterday, our camp last night is high up in the hills behind the inhabited strip, close to the coast. There are lakes all around us and the solitude is glorious. Yesterday we passed through the little settlement of St Ann’s. It has a special significance for us…
We lost an hour late yesterday. Someone came and just took it away. Our campsite was pretty raw but most enjoyable. Mostly inhabited by a number or large RV (Recreational Vehicles or monster caravans). It rained hard till about 10pm, but this morning we woke to glorious sunshine. By the…
What a glorious camp site. A narrow sand/gravel bridge with the ocean on one side and a river on the other. A leisurely pack up and ready to go around 9.30am. Getting back along the sand spit should have been easy as we had no trouble getting in. However, a…
First of all. It’s been a momentous day, for a number of reasons. Federer beaten at Wimbledon, but a mighty battle. Well done Djokovic. England won the World Cup Cricket. Well done England. We could only get bits of both events. Jen was glued, I mean GLUED to the phone…
The less said about the start of the day, the better. We had an electrical issue. It could have been solved in a few minutes but 51/2 hours later, I told the mechanic/con man to come out and leave the vehicle. He had managed to restore some of the functions…
After a shower, shave and things, the next job required, clean the Landy. It’s been looking pretty crusty lately. On the road by 11.30am. It’s different, Quebec. It’s very very French, and lovely. The little towns are quaint and there is lots of pride in their houses and gardens. It’s…
