I can’t believe how quickly the time is going since I finished work – we have been quite busy and the time for us to head off is coming around really fast. David also finished work this week and he would head off now if we didn’t have stuff to do before we go.
We had a good, productive weekend – our friend T came over and spent all of Saturday with us working in the garden. We hadn’t done much for a while and everything out the front was overgrown. The weather was cold, but at least the rain held off during the day and we managed to get heaps done, everything looks great. David’s sister E also came over for a visit which was lovely, and ended up staying the night. After a busy day, a great dinner of osso bucco and some wine we were all happily in bed by 11 o’clock. We’re such party animals.
We had a small gathering on the Sunday – mainly to try and catch up with some of our family and friends before we take off, but also to give them the opportunity of checking out the new mansion. It was a good day, but again, really cold. Some of our friends couldn’t make it so I think we’re going to be quite busy socialising over the next couple of weeks trying to catch up with them.
We’re nearly organised with the 5th wheeler and the F-Series has been outfitted with it’s new full length side steps, driving lights and bull bar – it looks great. Just have to get some more cleaning and decluttering done in the house before we leave.
Our first stop will be to the NSW south coast area to stay with friends who have a caravan park there – we will be working with them for a couple of weeks trying to get some experience under our belt. Then, who knows where we will head.
