Just got back from camping this weekend. We were in the north east so we could have small campfire. We even had drizzle this morning!

Unlike you guys, we've had so much rain that if you poured petrol on the bush it wouldn't catch fire.....

Although, Sat was sunny, allowed me to catch up on outside painting....what a joy that is!
