It's 11:00, and we're on the road - trailer and toys and all - for a night at Rotary Glen in Cromwell. Just one night as Mike starts shift on Wednesday. And this is a bit of a "shake down" trip as it's the firat time since we moved that we've got the trailer and boat etc with us. And seeing as the whole trailer was pulled to bits with contents spread far and wide we need to get our routine up and running again so that our next trip (after 29/12) will go smoothly! Anyway, summer has finally arrived (although yesterday was rainy and cold otherwise we would have left yesterday) so we're going to enjoy 25 degrees today, beside the Lake. All set up by 11:30. Had lunch and then Mike spent rest of afternoon trying to catch a fish while I sat in shade stitching as well as taking dogs for a regular swim, as it was nice and warm - 29°. When things got cooler, the rabbits appeared and Stoney (Roxie can't really see them anymore) had great fun chasing them up the hil after our neighbours said "just let him off". Sat outside 'til after 9, pork steak, new spuds and salad for tea. Bed at 22:30.

Up to a glorious morning. We have to go home today as Mike starts day shift tomorrow morning. But given it's going to be a glorious day, and that we're only half an hour from home, we won't be in any rush to leave!
