Gismo Queen and her King

Day 22 - Ewingar - Monday 20th May 2024

Waking early this morning, I snuck a peek out the window (before turning the heater on) to discover quite a foggy morning. It looked rather mystical through the trees.

After the heater warmed things up and the coffee machine was fired up, the sun started to burn off the fog. However, we enjoyed a rather slow morning in our vans. I kickstarted the coals in the fire into a good campfire because we needed good coals to be able to make pumpkin soup in the camp oven. I cut up a lot of pumpkin and once the fire was suitably warm, got the onion, garlic and pumpkin cooking. We had elevenses while it cooked and decided that damper would go nicely with the soup. Andrew and the boys (dogs) came to visit and then Andrew brought Courtney back (sans dogs) for soup. It was very delicious but the sun was so warm by this stage that we didn’t really need a hearty warming soup. I actually retreated to the shade to enjoy my lunch.

After lunch, Neill, Jude and I went for a walk and managed 3km before this creek crossing blocked our walk. Back in time for afternoon tea before we dressed for dinner as we were heading up to the main house. To much amusement, as we got into Andrew and Courtney’s house, the “kids” were straight on their devices catching up after a few days off line. I chatted with Andrew and Courtney in the kitchen before we enjoyed a very yummy vegan curry with home made naan bread.
