Cccccold....

I know i have no right to moan whilst most of you are buried under 10 ft of snow in the UK but when the sun isn't shining here it's blimin' cold. And today is one of those days, it's amazing how much the weather can effect your moods. Yesterday was brilliant sunshine and good waves, we wandered through town and bought some xmas pressies and best of all, a van pulled up next to us on the camp site with a 13 year old and a 16 year old complete with lovely mum and dad. The kids surf and the parents drink wine and beer, perfect.

Sam spent the evening with the boys and we chatted with the parents (Martin and Michelle) about the trip and bless them, they have invited us to stay when we get to Australia. So all was well... and then today we got up to clouds and wind and it's cold. But we have a plan, we are going to check out the olympic sized pool here and see if they have any kids events on over the holidays and there is a golf course we are going to find so all is not lost.

Life in the van is pretty good and the sleeping arrangements are working well. Last night I made a disgusting stir fry, tonight maybe pizza hut (don't fancy cooking in the rain). Must go now as Will is going to call his Mum (Dee, have you had the baby yet?)

  1. Bless you! It is odd complaining of the cold whilst you are in summer and we are in winter... but I know NZ is a very outdoors country, and there is not always lots to do when it is wet or cold. Especially when you are living out of a van! I'm sure you will come up with some ingenious ways of having fun. And I'll keep my fingers crossed that you're going to have a long hot summer :)
