This weeks blog is going to be fairly short. We stayed at Parry Beach for the entire week. We had a very relaxing time. We met some wonderful people. We even managed by pure chance to meet and talk with someone who dad has worked with and knows. Small world.
We celebrated James's birthday on Sunday. He had a really lovely day with a yummy sea food lunch and dinner and walks along the beach morning and afternoon. Oh and he had blueberry cheese cake for dessert. He was a happy guy.
Helen and Brian one of our sets of neighbours happened to mention that they make shade cloth walls for awnings for a very very good price. So after developing a shopping list with Helen, James and I collected all the necessary things on Monday then Tuesday Helen got busy making our walls. Back and forth from our trailer to hers she would go each day measuring checking and measuring to make sure it's all good. Thursday evening when it was raining she said they were finished but we opted not to put them up in the rain. We had tried to go to town to see the Christmas parade but with rain bucketing down we picked up groceries and turned back to camp.
There was a couple who are musicians at camp they did a performance at the caretakers cottage on Tuesday night and then on Wednesday night we were invited to join them with a few other neighbours for a round the fire sing along session. It was a lot of fun and a great night.
We got the shade cloth walls all finished and up on Saturday early afternoon. They are amazing and double our space. We couldn't have thanked Helen enough for her work.
To help the fridge stay cool.
Christmas time
Parry beach is a really nice place to stop and stay. It's cheap has basic facilities and feels like good old bush camping by the beach. This place appeals to a certain type of camper and we found that because of this everyone was super friendly, like minded and we spent a lot of time talking to a variety of people from all walks of life. It's unspoiled by a big corporate body and I truly hope it stays that way for years to come because places like this are becoming much harder to come by.
