Well, it’s here at last.

We picked it up on Thursday and set it up roughly to catch the predicted rain. Here it is Sunday and it has only just dried. It leaked quite a bit but now I hope that the canvas has been well-seasoned.

I’ll share more photos when we take it out for real!  I ordered a battery to go with our solar panels today, plus an extra 100w panel.  Perhaps we may be over-powered now. The second-hand fridge/freezer we purchased uses 55w – whatever that really means – and we are going to run it from the 120ah AGM battery, leaving the trailer’s 55ah for lights and other stuff.  It’s costing a bit to set up, but will save on site fees in the future.

Vika has a sore foot – she was okay last night. Most of the day she hasn’t seemed well. I carried her outside to do her business a few times and about 3pm she began weight-bearing a little. She limped around, drank,  had a feed,  and went back to sleep.

So, there was no walking to the footbridge today. Or yesterday, either, because of the persistent rain. Here are some photos I took recently…

Thanks for looking.  Do have a great week.  🙂
