Sitting in the caravan park watching the activity around me. People make fascinating creatures to watch. Only two models but so many varieties!
There are the early morning risers who are up and have all their days chores done before 7am. Mum has been to the laundry and has taken most of the space on the communal washing lines. Dad is washing the car and putting water all over other peoples sites even though the park has rules on the washing of vehicles. Other early risers are up and packed and on the road by 7am. I often wonder to myself what time this lot knock off for the day. Are they the ones we see checking into caravan parks at 8am? Or do they drive all day and only stop when they run out of light and the fear factor kicks in regards the local native wildlife putting dents in their much loved brand new 4x4?
Then there are the sleepy heads who never surface until the park is nearly empty from the days departures. They sit in their camp relaxing, reading the paper and drinking coffee. I think I know which ones have the right idea......
Watching as people pack up their camp on departure day can be interesting. Some have a set routine and go about it quietly and confidently. Others rattle and bang and double up on each others jobs and get in quite a lather. They all head off down the road happily enough although I have seen some very tightly crossed arms and thin lip lines!!!
The last van to be put beside us had three blue heelers! They left yesterday and many around them heaved a sigh of relief. They were noisy dogs and wanted to tear a leg off anyone who passed that van. The owners idea of being in control of their animals at all times was to chain them to the car and yell at them from inside the comfort of the van when they were barking. It is people like that who make it so much harder for anyone else travelling with pets.
The sky today is a dirty grey blue black..... Will it rain?
