A new Adventure

 

Here I am after a long break. There didn't seem to be much to tell you about, but now we have news.

After Eddie's op (which he as recovered from really well) he didn't think he wanted to go back driving. As I mentioned in my last post, we have redone the brakes on the van, so we want to put the money back into the bank, so not working wasn't really an option.

When we got back from our travels to Papamoa and Maraenui, Eddie had an idea and  rang around a few camping grounds in Northland. As a result we have a job at a camping ground on the Whangarei heads in Northland. The place is called Treasure Island Caravan Park at Pataua. We are starting at Labour Weekend. Eddie is working out his notice at the moment. He finishes on the 14th October, so not long to go now, although it has been a  tedious time to him. We are going to Wellington on the 16th for my Mum and Dad's 70th wedding anniversary. Back to Matamata on the 18th and then we leave on the 20th.

 Eddie is going to be the camp handyman and I will be in the office, shop and cleaning. Pretty much where ever we are needed really. There are 160 sites and it is fully booked from the 26th December until the end of January, so we will be busy over that 6 weeks. We will be there until the end of  February and then we will see what happens after that. We are looking forward to our new adventure.

Our granddaughter is at uni in Otago and can't go back to Aussie for Christmas, because of covid. Her parents loss is our gain, as she is coming up to stay with us for a few days and then going back to Matamata to stay with her other Grandma there. We are looking forward to the catch up. We haven't seen her for quite a while now. 

Below are 2 photos I took at Papamoa after a stormy day. The colours were really purple. I am very pleased with the way it came out. A friend said I had taken it on world photograph day. Who know there was such a thing!
