Back in Denham for a week

We are back in Denham for a week or so. It has felt a bit sad heading south, but it felt good to drive into a park where we know a few people. After we set up we went down to see Brice bring his boat and their big catch of fish in. It was lovely to see his face when he realized who had driven up to the fish cleaning table. He’s been down in Perth having treatment for cancer and I have to say it seems to have taken its toll on him-he is looking very tired.

Todd is flying up on Friday to spend a few days with us, so for the first time ever we put our annex up. It’s surprisingly easy tlittle long, o do, so I think we will do it often from now on. It’s very nice with really big windows and really gives the sense of another room. When we looked at the box, we discovered we had a week to notify the makers of any faults or bad fit. It’s a bit late now and lucky it’s OK!

It was beautiful here today, so we were really happy to take the boat out fishing-it seems like such a long time since we last went. We got lots of little fish and enough fresh bait for tomorrow. Russ almost landed a small shark but it bit through the line just before we could land it. Brice tells us they are very good eating and there are lots in the bay at the moment, so maybe tomorrow.

The caravan park put on a sausage sizzle to raise money for charity tonight. It was lots of fun and nice to meet a few other people. Tomorrow night we are taking dinner to Brice’s after we get back from some more fishing.

In just under 2 weeks we’ll be heading to London etc. We had planned to take the van to Perth and leave it with Allan, but have found very cheap storage for it and the boat here. When we get home, we’ll spend a few days in Perth then head back up here for another months fishing before it gets too hot and windy. I tell you what, Windy Warrnambool has got nothing on this west coast when it starts to blow!!!!
