Will be in deniliquin at the beggining of April

Did a shake down cruise and bought a few more things for the camper.

Thrown out are extra cutlery and plates etc.  Otherwise I didn't have anything surplus aboard.

Enjoy your trip and your quilts and craft dawa. Maybe one of your quilts could be about your travels. I saw somewhere - maybe on tips - that someone suggests buying a small sewing machine so we can do our quilts on the road. I must find out more. I don't think they are too dear.

I will have my sewing machine and my spinning wheel with me.

Good one! Why be idle while we enjoy this country of ours.

I'm sure that's going to be great but where do you stash that stuff?
Maybe I'll have to rationalise my under-bed storage to make way for more junk.
Fitting my life into a Landcruiser and 20ft caravan seemed to be compact enough.
I couldn't imagine carrying a sewing machine and spinning wheel for the reasons of space and weight.

very little clothing;  very little cooking eating stuff.

I hope to get my bed raised up in the future for underbed storage.

Am trying to spread out the weight.  The sewing machine for instance is in the front passenger foot well.

May have to turf a few things out tho...who knows

I hope all goes well dawa, you sound pretty well organised for the trip.

I do remember seeing another lady at some time with a spinning wheel in her RV.   Happy Travels.
