Getting into work

 

It's funny how you can be busy and relaxed all at the same time, but that is how we feel working here. Our boss is so easy to work for. It's nice not needing an alarm to get up to as well.

Eddie worked on Saturday (practically unheard of) and we had Sunday off. We went to the estuary and collected some cockles. Eddie couldn't find any pipi which is what he really went for. He is going to have to find a local to talk too.

Eddie found a vege garden near to where we are parked. It belonged to Nita's mother. Nita  is our boss and her mother lived in a cabin here in the park. She must have been a keen gardener,  as it is quite big. It was quite weedy. I have never seen so much parsley in one place. Most of it has gone now. There is a lot of mint too. We had some rhubarb for dessert a couple of nights ago and that was rather nice. We haven't had any for ages.

There is also a passion fruit vine growing and some garlic that someone planted. It is in need of a lot of compost as the soil is very sandy. There was not a worm in sight. On Tuesday we bought 4 bags of compost and I spread it out yesterday. The garlic is very small, as it hasn't had a lot of feeding. I don't expect it will be a good crop as it is getting close to it's harvest time. It is pouring with rain today, so getting the compost on was good timing. Next week I hope to get some veges going. 

Nita's sister and her family are here this week cleaning up the takeaway kitchen ready for when they do takeaways over the summer holiday. 

Next week Nita is going to get the groceries for the shop and I will go in to town with her to help. Then it will be putting it on the shelf and pricing it all.

Eddie got all the lawns done on Monday and Tuesday. He quite enjoyed himself. zipping about on the mower.  His old Swap work shirts have come in handy as work clothes here ha ha.

On Monday, I worked in the gardens at the top of the park. As you can see by the view, it is a very popular place for campers to park up their tents and caravans.
