And the winner is...... the Green Grocer
Well the sunshine parade has been and gone and in true style it started in the RAIN. It was a strange parade, no amplified music AT ALL, no speaker system on the street so you didn't know who or what the float was about, two bands the local brass and a pipe band and they were good, but without some razzamatzz it sort of didn't quite get there LOL. That said all the kids loved it and lots of lollies were thrown around so I guess it did what it was meant to do.
We arrived at Port Denison this afternoon and have found an almost perfect park. It sort of feels like a retirement village - NO WISE CRACKS - everything is manicured, the gardens are great, we are parked under cover for the first time ever, we have an ensuite which has a separate toilet and shower, a storage room for the freezer and junk and most importantly a WASHING MACHINE AND DRYER that didn't come from the Tardis. It does have a big tree at the back which scraps along the metal roof, so lets pray the wind stays quiet. We're not sure what is around here so we have only booked in for 3 nights. If the weather stays calm and warm we may stick around longer (if we can extend). Last night we thought we were going to be blown back to Victoria, the winds blew all day and all night and we were very glad to put Geraldton behind us.

is that your brand new camper ????
And at your new retirement village " sounds like WAITING FOR GOD from BBC" where everything is manicured, don`t forget to cut your toenails before you walking barefoot on the lawn. We don`t want you do plough half the retirement park. And next time you go on a parade, YOU take lollies and throw them at the kids AND NOT THROW THE KIDS AWAY TO GET THE LOLLIES.
