Day 13: At home in Singleton (Sat. 4/1/14)



Our trip has suddenly undergone a change! From caravan park and free camp we have suddenly graduated to the front lawn of Adam and Miriam’s place. Well, front lawn is a bit of a misleading description: it was the ex-garden which Miriam and Renske had attacked with great gusto a couple of months before. Adam had supplied us with a bit of artificial lawn and we had added our groundsheet and we could cope just fine with that.
We continued our reconnaissance of their house and its environment. Adam has already begun to clean up the backyard with the intention of letting in more light. He had also started ripping out the spare room in the large shed at the back. This will make it a much more useful place for his work purposes. Inside, the lounge and main bedroom had been carpeted and painted. We agreed with them that the changes they had made so far made the house very liveable, and so they could take their time with next stage of improvements.
Renske was also in residence so we made a trip together to Mandurah for some shopping, lunch and sight-seeing.
It was good to be with our kids, it was warm, the beer was cold, the beach was close and we hardly had to drive anywhere. What more could we want?
