There was excitement our household, after a couple of months we were heading off for a caravan club weekend rally. And just because we could, we were joining the other early birds on Thursday and sneaking in an extra day. This was the first time Robin had pulled the caravan from it’s allocated space since his knee replacement, parked it in front of our home, and attended to winding the steadies up and down as required. He managed very well, considering that it was months since he had last done these chores, and his knee was still feeling a bit stiff and sore.
The weather wasn’t too bad as we drove up to Palmerston North to a new to us site, the Red Barn. And here it is, turn into this driveway to see who had arrived before us.
There were five vans here already, with us making six early birds. The others were on the fence line, and we tucked ourselves alongside the red barn.
After a late lunch, and a rest to get our breath back, the weather decided enough was enough, let’s teach these campers a thing or two about the Manawatu weather. Showers first, then heavy rain set in, and at the time of writing, it hasn't stopped! We took our chairs and tables over the the large roomy implement shed for 4zees and had a great catch up together. The friendly owners Geoff and Colleen came over to introduce themselves, and make sure we were all happy. Colleen then offered to take a group photo for us, how kind was that. Two of the group were absent, they were busy doing a spot of shopping.
4zees time
Four other vans are due to arrive tomorrow, Friday, which will give us a complement of 10 vans on site. Wonder what the rally captains will have in store for us for the weekend!
