HOT AND HUMID

I’ve never experienced such hot, humid weather as we’ve had lately. 
It’s just so humid you can see it in the air, you can feel it when you breathe and it’s just very uncomfortable. 
We really need the rain to cool it down (I never thought I would ever say that as I love the heat😂)

Last night I took myself over the road to the beach to watch the Sunset. 
(Cricket was on Tele🙄)



All these flowers …… it’s called a Native Hibiscus…









This was the first time I’d actually put my toes on the sand…….we normally walk along the footpath.

It was so peaceful so I decided it would be nice just to sit for a while on the sand and enjoy it all. 
Wow….was that a huge mistake….😳

I’d been sitting there a while, watching the tide come in a bit. I had really enjoyed the solitude, but decided I better start getting home.

So I turned off my iPad and started to get up…..well I got nowhere. 
My knees would just not allow me to get up from the sand as I’d been sitting too long. 
I tried getting on all fours….nope….I’m thinking the tide will come in and I’d be rolling around in the shallows like a beached whale……I have to get up. 
( Usually I have Ed to help haul me up) I just didn’t think before I sat 😳

It was getting darker and I was all by myself…..then I saw a bloke come walking along the beach …….and by now I was getting worried ……so with determination…..and quite a bit of panicking …..I got up, flicking sand all over me…..and walked very quickly home. 

I walked in the door and Ed said, “you were a while”…..I didn’t dare tell him …..
But got straight in the shower to get rid of all the sand that I’d kicked up ………and into orifices where sand should not be!! 🤭😳🤦‍♀️

Moral of the story…..find a  park bench to sit my arse on….I’m too old to sit anywhere else 👵 



Take care everyone. ❤️❤️

MORE TRAVELS BACK TO TWEED HEADS.

Image
Left Forbes in the rain and headed to Dunedoo…population 1,000   Lighting wasn’t that good as it decided to come over stormy. We stayed the night at the small caravan park, $30….. bit overpriced, but like everything….the price has gone up.  Next day, after travelling on some horrific roads…..we got to Merriwa. We stayed behind the Pub, which was free, got some shopping an the local IGA, found this lovely Mural on the side wall made out of corrugated iron…. And basically stayed in the caravan as it rained all day and night.  Luckily next day, it had stopped raining, it was very muddy though where we were staying. Yuk  Headed off again, road conditions got worse, and stopped for the night at Gerry’s Plains.  It’s our usual stop free stop over. We found a nice spot next to the fence line, and had an audience as we set up. These horses are always here to greet you every time we come. So I had a lovely view while doing the dishes out of my kitchen window all afternoon😂😂 So we left that be

SEA LAKE, & MANANGATANG REVISTED.

Image
We left  Charlton this morning in the fog. It didn’t take long to lift, and then the sun came through. It was a little windy, but luckily we weren’t driving into it.  As we do, we zig zaged and went the long way, stopping at Nandaly for lunch. Ed used to deliver there when he worked for Dons Smallgoods.  They have a pub, and the shop that Ed delivered to had been closed down for what looked like a long time.  Population 30  What they have done, is built a lovely free stop over for campers. There’s showers,  toilets, and two power sockets for caravans to plug into.  There was no one there to take advantage of it all though as they built it so people could drop into the pub for a feed.  So on we went after lunch along the Calder Highway and turned into what Google maps said was the way to Chinkapook.  Well we must have blinked as we couldn’t find it…….but 17 people live there! So we stopped at Sea Lake instead and went for a walk up the Main Street.  It’s not a big town, and there were a

FROM MUSWELLBROOK TO GRAFTON NSW

Image
Between Muswellbrook and Singleton there were quite a few huge coal mines, and a huge power station. This Lake was built specifically by this huge Power Station…to cool down it down…and at its deepest is 35 metres deep.   The next town from there was Singleton, another mining town. We stopped for lunch, got out of the car and there was a terrible smell…..which we thought was just from all of the mines. So we went to get Subway for lunch, in the big shopping centre there….sat outside and we could still smell it.  Finished lunch then all of a sudden the alarm went off in the big shopping mall….and a recorded voice said “This is an emergency ……evacuate immediately” 😳 …..turns out it was a gas leak…..so off we went far, far away and let the fire brigade deal with it. We then drove all the way back to Muswellbrook and we’re glad to get there.  Next day we headed off and we arrived at Grafton and found this a nice place to camp for  two days. This belongs to the Grafton Vintage Car Club, an
