Happy New Year!!

Hi All and a Very Happy New Year to you.

I have been making friends through the CMCA family of motor homers, and have been made very welcome by them, Here in Bridport Tasmania, we have been in a large paddock behind a farm for the last 6 days. The weather has alternated between very sunny, strong winds and a lazy wind that goes straight through you as it is too lazy to go round.
The local Tasmanians, are so keen for sun that they sit out in it and get quite sun burnt! i want to sit in the shade, but as a newcomer i stay out with them as I don't want to seem unsociable. but I have got sunburnt (and windburnt) for the first time in years! We had a large marquee and a 3way long drop toilet, so all the amenities! On new years eve we had a beautiful combined meal of roast beef, absolutely to die for, ham on the bone and roast potatoes, boiled spuds and various veges, with fruit salad and icecream with raspberries and strawberries on top. they had a chapter member whose family are talented singers supply the entertainment, and although it was freezing cold I stuck it out til midnight! (so proud of myself).
Had a few texts from WA and that was lovely thank you.
Monday we finishing breaking camp, already a lot have moved on. (there were 22 motorhomes) and 1 fifth wheeler. I will head out to Georgetown, and get water and then down the east side of the Tamar valley, I am looking for a place where Doug and I had scones and jam and cream about 8/9 years ago! Then over to the west coast and stanley and the Nut.
So to all my good friends a happy and healthy, and if you are lucky, a wealthy new year.
love from vicki in Doigs' Donga.
