Hi lovelies,
It has again been a bit since our last blog. After Easter we spent a week with my Mum while my Dad was
away for a bit. She did not need help,
but I needed to be there for her. 😊. Then
it was a quick visit home to get some appointments out of the way, get a hug or two from the the kids and on Friday
we hit the road again.
At present we are in the lovely village of Wardell. This is just outside Ballina and on the Richmond River.
Robbie is planning to do some fishing here tomorrow.
The van park here is gorgeous. We have a lovely site with a cobbled brick
sitting area
and the most gorgeous little private garden. We feel very blessed.
This morning after a huge sleep-in (it was nearly 9 when I
got out of bed) we went for a drive to Alstonville. Even though it was overcast it was a lovely day, and we were blessed to only have the odd sprinkle of rain while we were out enjoying the countryside.
We had visited this town many years ago as
one of Rob’s aunts lived there. We had a
quick walk around town
Spotted some lovely old buildings.
and an interesting piece of artwork.
We then headed to the Victoria Park Conservation Reserve.
This was pretty cool.
We followed the ‘green’ brick road to the boardwalk through the
rainforest.
It is only about 400 meters
so not a long walk. The area is renowned
for Pademelons, and while we did see some, I did not successfully take a photo
of them. ☹.
The sign for this tree was "slow death by strangulation" Not a happy thought perhaps.
We did spot this gorgeous letterbox. I felt a little sad for the people as it
seems obvious that they do not get a lot of mail.
Back to Alstonville for some basic supplies and then back to
the van.
Robbie had the job of trying to find out why we only had a
trickle of water from the sink tap, while it flowed fine for the washing
machine. He finally discovered that there
is a filter where the hose connects to the pipe, and if you do not clean it out
occasionally it will clog. Another lesson for the beginners.
This afternoon has been spent relaxing, napping and doing
some planning.
We are glad to be back on the road, and are hopeful that we
will not return this time until October. Our kids are even more hopeful that this is the case than we are.
All for today lovelies.
Stay safe and keep enjoying life.
Love us.
