Camp Candlestick

Last night Geoff and l camped out in the canvas wagon. It wasn't a particularly beautiful evening . A bit cool and a tad windy but we had planned to do so and the stiff British Upper Lip shone through and off we went!

With goats and wee small dog of course!

With Toggles the Motorhead never far behind the ute!

Wait for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.................

It was quick and easy to set up camp, and very cosy it was too!

With spectators at the back.....................

And more at the front! No privacy around here!

The horses stayed out with us for the night so were most interested in all the goings on

Especially as they knew their dinner was on the back of the ute....

Lilli was thoroughly miserable ...........

Until she got to sleep on the bed!

And as usual the goats settled in and made themselves totally at home.

So,  late afternoon............early evening...........wine open.................

 Fire lit............

Curry on the heat!

AND the bitter cold wind disappeared to give us a beautiful evening!

So we could climb out of the two shocking pink duvets we had been huddled into............

And enjoy the evening.... So near to home and yet so far away!

Geoff reading his book in the dying light!

Until it got too dark and we fell asleep in front of the fire...

Until Maxie woke us up of course!

Then we climbed into bed with nothing around except the possums and Maxie bashing at the gate every now and then!

A lovely evening indeed!
