Up went the caravan annex!

It has been a few weeks since we bought the caravan and we thought it was time to try and erect the annex that came with it. We only got shown once by Watson's and there were quite a few processes involved. So, we both took a deep breath and attempted to get it done, before the sun set in 6 hours.

Slowly, but surely, bit by bit, we remembered what we had to do and within 90 minutes we had another room, which by the way, Angel has taken up residence in. Rosy is going to use the room for her sewing. Our large table fits in there quite nicely. We are both quite proud of ourselves as we didn't bend or break anything, and seeing the annex costs around $2000 to replace, it's a good thing.

Now all we have to do is wait for it to rain and for it to be windy to see how it will hold up. There's a picture of it on the right.

On the beach this morning, during our walk along the beach a woman walked passed us, after being sussed out by Angel, who was 'off lead'. She said "I didn't recognise your dog without the lead!". It's quite a looong lead that Rosy put together. It's 20 metres long and causes much talk amongst the other walkers. We need a lead that long to keep Angel happy and a little free, while we are around a lot of people. Angel tends to lose us in a crowd, maybe intentionally.

Another guy we met on the beach couldn't believe how much Angel runs. She normally does 10 lengths of the beach to our one, and all in running mode. I am thinking of changing her name to 'Everyready' - it just keeps on keeping on.

I wonder who we will meet on the beach tomorrow.
