Bark is lost and with bark removal comes blood – my blood.
Its a long trip today – not.
From our present location to our next location, the Wintersun Caravan Park is about 300 metres. The issue is the transfer timings. We need to be out of our present location by 10.00am but cannot get into Wintersun until 11.00am.
We decide to do a wander around town. Its a grey old day and the wind is still what you might call at howling velocity. The van on the back limits many of the places we can go. We can head out to the small boating area and grab a kilo of prawns, head back to a community car park on the water which is empty as we pass it, and indulge in the delicacies, complete with cocktail sauce and a cool drink.
The protection of the Cruiser from the wind on one hand, the increasing temperature of simply being in it are mediated from time to time by opening the doors. Its a tough life but someone has to do it.
The gulls seem to know what and why we are parked here and have started congregating. The wind pushing them around as they circle. The storm comes and goes. Its brief existence is enough to wet the road and scatter the birds.
