We were supposed to get the keys this Friday to our new “tin hut” – I love that name Kathleen – but because we wanted a pitch nearer to a parking space, we have to wait another week. So I am keeping myself busy by looking through pin after pin on...
I love the beach, I may have mentioned it once or twice. On Friday we had to call into the new caravan park to sort out insurance and decided to have a walk down the beach along the beach wall. To get to a sandy beach is a 5 min drive...
Oh the excitement of a fun filled new project. I think we all need a new focus at times to lift us up and get us motivated again. For the last 12 months, I have been in a strange place emotionally. I couldn’t put my finger on what was wrong....
