We have a caravan rally coming up fast in the weekend, but with a medical appointment up in Palmy on Thursday, why not get away early, we decided. So we did. The caravan was packed and after an early lunch on Wednesday, we drove up to Kersel’s Pop on Palmerston North. We had stayed here not too long ago, and the friendly hosts, Peter and Margaret, are members of the Palmerston North Caravan Club. There were three other vans staying here, all good friends of many years standing. They used to ride motor bikes, we were told, and now travel around together on van trips. A couple of the men guided us as Robin backed in through the gate and we slotted in beside them.
Wednesday night at Kersel’s pop
The bees were busy buzzing around their hives, and we were joined by a group of young heifers over the fence.
Bees and young cattle watching us
After a little necessary shopping to pick up a few bits and pieces, we had time to take ourselves out for lunch before the appointment - but where to go? Decided on Joe’s Garage and after scanning in and and showing our Covid Passports, we were ushered to a table.
We both ordered “Gorgeous George” bacon, eggs, and potatoes, although I swapped my bacon for smoked salmon. Followed by a nice hot coffee each, it was a very satisfying lunch.
Looks good enough to eat
On to my appointment, then we were free to return back to the pop. Our neighbours had moved on to the Wairarapa, so we were now on our lonesome, with just the cattle for company.
All alone today
Although the skies wee blue, a rather chilly wind was blowing, so no chance of sitting comfortably outside. Fourzees time rolled around and Robin celebrated with a Tui.
Cheers!
Gemma was checking what was happening with those young cattle, they make strange noises, you see. Just as well she is safely inside, being a big brave pussy cat, she might well spook them!
What are those creatures, she’s thinking
Tomorrow we are moving on to Pohangina for the weekend rally, looking forward to catching up with everyone again.
