Celebrating

During the last ten days we have been working on the bus, mostly with painting and decorating the bedroom where Fraser had built us some wardrobes and cupboards.  So it was out with the paint brushes and the wallpapering kit after clearing out the bed, carpets and curtains. It wasn't an easy job as there were so many nooks and crannies to get into. We can doubly appreciate how much work Fraser put in to getting it looking so good.



We are very pleased with the finished product. Dressing the room was the final action and with the new duvet, carpets back and the curtains cleaned and rehung it is looking great.  I also spent a couple of days in the rest of the bus cleaning all the surfaces and the kitchen cupboards so it has had a good spring clean all round. In the meantime Stephen has done some rewiring, re-plumbing, and tidied up the outside. Even the wheel hubs have had a paint up and it makes such a difference.

So to celebrate Stephen decided to take me out for tea. No - not to a restaurant!!! In the bus where I had to cook it. Actually we had a very nice evening, parked up overlooking the dam. The thyme is in full flower and I just love the scent especially when you walk on it. The evening was calm and Stephen even managed an hour of fishing. No fish this time but he says they were biting.

Note the thyme in full flower.

The next event on the Central Otago calendar is the Thyme Festival which we are looking forward to.
