Loving it here in Corindi Beach Caravan Park. We may never leave!
The second week of the NSW school holidays was entertaining, to say the least, and reaffirmed why I’m not a mother. (Mothers have the patience of a saint!) Some of the makeshift campsites did make me wonder where the ‘fun’ starts for poor Mum, who seems to do all the same things she would be doing at home – cooking, washing, cleaning – all without the comforts and conveniences of home, while Dad, on the other hand, has gone fishing!
What I saw this week…
Friends on Facebook got a giggle when I posted about funny caravan park goings on this week. (Something about the old-er (than me) lady in the leopard spot onesie in the amenities block. No. No. Just NO!) I did not take a photo; I would not do that to you all. I am still trying to wipe the image from my memory bank!!!
A wedding is a much nicer image!
Here comes the bride – all beautiful and windblown, but with the expected glow of a wedding party, despite the HUGE wind that day. And cold! Good grief it was cold. But as brides do, she braved the elements. Here they are wandering by our camp site. I followed them to the small ceremony overlooking the beach. (No, I did not gate crash. I simply stood to one side and cried…with the groom! No, I was not standing WITH the groom, just crying – as he was. True! Shame about the wind (but it is called windy Corindi!!).
Busy birds!
We discovered the very beautiful Bee Eater bird. This photo does not do the colours justice. Gorgeous and busy, busy, busy little birds. I was exhausted just watching them flit and fly and swoop on insects (and I suppose bees) in the long grasses.
Speaking of exhausting…
Our old dogs, who we thought were on their last legs, who had to be dragged around the block for their daily walk back home, have found new energy (or more likely lots of new smells). I can’t keep up. Of course for the rest of the day they sleep at my feet while I write.
Speaking of writing…

he good news is….
One more stage of the publishing process for book three was completed this week. I took this pic on an early morning walk to celebrate Season of Shadow and Light being one step closer to hitting those shelves next year. I am loving this story and cannot wait.
That’s it from me for now. What was your week like?
What a difference an annexe makes!
