Bridget



as usual the egg household has been a hive of activity this month,
 maybe i should change my blog name to the busy bee's . . . . .?

at the beginning of the month we took possession of our luxury motel on wheels yep we have upgraded and are no longer trailer people we are now Van people

as always we have named our new motel on wheels
this time it's 

BRIDGET


so Bridget is a 16ft Jayco Expanda

she is gadgets pride and joy  . . . . .because she is full of gadgets . . . .
we have hot and cold running water, we have an shower on the outside, yep we need a tent, although i could always do the big brother thing and wear my bikini's. . . . that would ensure we would have the camp site to ourselves
she has an air conditioner, stereo system with inside and outside speakers and the list gos on and on

so we spent most of this month making her our home on wheels

but on the weekend on a grey cold winters day we took bridget out on her maiden voyage


we headed down to the Big 4 park at Lemon Tree passage
with our Coite family


this is all our vans lined up in a row . . . 


it's pretty tough washing up to a view like this

would you like to see inside Bridget?



well this is my condiments rack full of my favourite stuff 
. . . . Tea . . . .


the princess bed ready for Miss M and Miss S and even cooper
and a nice comfy lounge, and of course my work station the sink



the Lord and Ladies bed . . . it was pretty comfortable 

so your probably thinking where is the table well at the moment we have chosen to travel without one, we have numerous camp tables and have decided we like the open space of the van without it 

ahh the Coite's what did they get up to

Well there were no M & Ms 
but


we did what we do best we . . . .  talked, 


we had some made lunatic driving



and we watched the sun go down  with a glass / bottle / mug of something warming in our hands

was it cold 
YES 
did we use the air conditioner
Yes

but great company can surpass anything

hope your hands are working on something that you love

until next time

Ciao

Toorale homestead - Louth

We set off from Bourke  , we had stayed the night at Kidmans camp , which was a lovely spot and headed off south to start the Datling River run. For the first few hours we didn’t see any river as our first destination was  TooraleHomestead The drive in was pretty good , lots of dust and a little bit of corrigation but really quite good  We seen some wildlife including an eagle  Bit blurry as it was taken through the windscreen of the car ,  Some Emu’s and kangaroos  The homestead itself is closed to the public except during school holidays ,so we didn’t get to go in but , we knew before we arrived that was the case and I was keen to see it anyway. Sir Samuel McCaughey in partnership with his Brother John and cousin purchased Toorale, Nocoleche and Dunlop station. Acquiring 800 000 acres of land and 130 000 sheep and 80 horses.  Eventually Samuel bought his brother and cousin out. He built the homestead in 1896 as a wedding gift to his niece. The golden years for the homestead were betw

Scrappy chook quilt

So I have been keeping this one under wraps, not on purpose mainly just because I have been a very lazy blogger. A few months ago, as most of you know I had a visit to chookyblue's place, whilst there I had the pleasure to sleep under some of her gorgeous quilts. But one in particular took my fancy I just loved the scrappiness of this quilt, the lovely colours but mainly just the simple design. So when I headed up to Nundle for my retreat, I sent the lovely Kerry a photo and she assured me she could pull together some lovely fabrics and guide me, to put this lovely quilt together. When I arrived at Nundle This lovely bundle of fabrics awaited me The girls and I used the black and white feature on the iPad to determine light medium and dark fabrics I spent 3/4 of the first day creating these squares, I think I frustrated Miss Joolz because I just could not be random, I had to be organised I didn't want to get end and end up wit

Burren junction - Brewarinna

Beds on Barwon We left Newcastle at a reasonable time on Friday morning not gadgets ( my husband) usual 4am start and headed west.  We really never planned this trip out as such we vaguely decided that sitting by a river with a fire was our plan , a chance to take a deep breathe and slow down our lives for a bit. Almost 13 years ago we were extremely fortunate to do the darling river run with some wonderful friends and thought that we would love to repeat that trip and hopefully see the Darling river with water this time.  However at this stage our plans are a little up in the air with the road to Louth currently closed due to rain and some of the national parks closed for the same reason. Soo where are we heading , not sure but wherever we are heading it will be an adventure. So on day one we drove to Burren Junction where we spent our first night of our adventure at a truck stop  This is our new travelling Duo Reggie ( car) and Ruby ( van) we decided last year it was time to say good
