Directly opposite to the UK, where I’m told spring has sprung, we are going into Autumn here. Leaves are starting to fall and the trees are changing to autumnal colours. It is also getting cooler. While cooking dinner last night there was another very brief shower, lasting all of about…
Find a camp then pack up and leave seems to be our life at the moment. Last night’s camp was lovely and peaceful once darkness arrived and the tourists couldn’t see the aliens camped in their midst..:) This chunky chap gave his position away with his ungainly waddle through the…
Packing up Having spent 4 nights at La Postegada it had become quite like home, so it was quite a wrench to leave this morning. Having folded up the tent and spread the groundsheet out to dry, along came the old black dog and promptly settled himself down in the…
