This morning, I got up early to help Norma and Croft finish loading up the motorhome.

It is here that I have to comment on how horrible RV manufacturers are to give modern RVs so much storage space and just about no carrying capacity. I once had Croft crunch the numbers and their rig was seriously overweight. Their rig is sagging so much the belly scrapes the pavement! Okay, I’m being facetious, but, really, all that storage space is misleading! I know that Miranda’s previous owners didn’t give a second thought to carrying capacity, which gives me the willies.

Norma added onto my list of things to do this winter and gave me an incredibly onerous task: emptying out the freezer, fridge and pantry. 😉 I managed to squeeze the cold goods into my fridge and freezer, but I now need to rearrange the pantry to get rid of the mountain of stuff in my entry way. I won’t have to go grocery shopping for a couple of months! 😀

They set off in glorious, pattern-breaking, weather at 10 o’clock, bang on time. Tonight, they will be going all the way to Victoria, at the other end of the Island, and sleeping at the ferry terminal.

We got along so well that I actually feel a tad bereft right now, all alone in a strange town. *snickers*

Looks like the weather will be holding (yay!) so I’m off to tackle a fairly major exterior job on Miranda and then I’ll be free to start working on the inside!
