Gismo Queen and her King

Ewingar - 30 and 31 May 2023

A glorious two days relaxing with family in this beautiful part of the world! The sunshine has been so warm and bright - Greg and I have commented several times that this is the best weather we've had on our visits here in years! We've enjoyed breakfasts and elevenses on the deck in the sunshine in t shirts, then pretended to do a bit of work (or at least supervised Andrew doing some work) in the afternoon sun before the weather cools and we light the fire for ambience more than anything.

It's been lovely to see some of the improvements Andrew and Courtney have made since we were last here (less than a year ago) and just hang out with them and the dogs. And of course, we have been very well fed as Courtney is an excellent cook.

One new acquisition which Greg was very keen to check out was the new timber mill. Some long term readers of this blog may remember the chainsaw mill he used to have - well, this is a professional step up and is very efficient. I took a video of it in operation but that will be too big to upload to here. For those interested, I'll arrange a link.

I took a few walks around the property, hung out with the horses, checked out our campsite (a little overgrown - the horses aren't doing their job) and Greg helped Andrew with a few things on his new ute. It has just been nice to stop and recharge and not have to get in the car for hours - turns out I'm a little sick of that! However, we do need to get ready for a big day's driving tomorrow.

As always, lovely to spend time in this part of the world, enjoying the disconnection from civilisation (no power let alone mobile coverage here!) and catching up with family.
