Aiming for glass half full in this brief post, but be warned, it might seem like I’m moaning about the weather. If so, it’s because I am.
Right, let’s give half full a go, with something to brighten up our slow start to the season. C’mon, spring, time to show yourself – it’ll soon be summer…
We wandered the Plains of Abraham last weekend, taking a picnic with us as we searched for some spring colour. We found one or two bright patches in the not quite planted Joan of Arc gardens, and it was pleasant to find a bench in a sunny spot and turn our happy little faces up to the sun, almost golden and contented. Yes, mother, with suitable hats and sunglasses. We’re hoping to head down there again this coming Sunday, see if any more has been planted.
Prompted by two sunny days in a row for the first time since, well, it’s hard to remember, we uncovered the camping trailer on Monday. Happily, all is well with it, so we’ll be up and out from midweek and through the Victoria Day weekend, camping whatever the (rainy) weather. Optimistic sunblock and bug repellent, as well as a tarp or two if needed. Surely not…
Let’s keep it short this week and end here with a spring in our step! Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Fingers crossed for fine camping weather Adam. May the sun spring Gods smile upon you. No tarps needed (but always a good insurance just in case) but plenty of beer and cheer. Have a great weekend!! 😊

You too Adam! Hope you don’t need those tarps. We’ve just woken up to a lake outside our van, and we’re in the outback!

Yikes – start paddling? Or bailing?!
We’ll be riverside but on higher ground, so hopefully no watery surprises…
Stay dry!

All good. We’re safe off the ground and have a four wheel drive. But could get interesting if the rain continues!

It’s been a wait to see some colour, but finally! Leaves are unfurling, more flowers are appearing, the truck is ready to head off camping tomorrow – we’ve decided to ignore the forecast, as it must be wrong…
Enjoy the long weekend ahead!

The spring flowers are very pretty! Finally spring! Happy camping! I like the size of your camper. Have a great week!

Thanks, Maria! Yeah, we really like the trailer, small enough to tow without hassle, light enough to manoeuvre by hand when we get somewhere. Must be getting old – certainly don’t mind being off the ground to sleep!
