Camping in the rain

As I write this the rain is pelting down on the trailer's roof making a loud but soothing sound.  It's warm and snug inside the trailer.

We hitched up the trailer yesterday and brought it to this wonderful spot called Pedder Bay.  A gorgeous RV resort and marina.  The camping sites are large and have privacy hedges between them.  It's idyllic.

On the way to the trailer yesterday we stopped and got a crock pot and a roast of beef to inaugurate it.  I set it up on the table outside and cooked the roast for about 5 hours.  Before cooking I put a packet of onion soup mix and a can of cream of mushroom soup over it and it turned out wonderful.  The gravy was perfect.  I BBQ'd some veggies in foil and used some garlic and herb instant mashed potatoes and voila!  A delicious dinner.  The crock pot is definitely a keeper!

We're getting the "doing dishes" routine pretty well figured out.  I wash and MWP dries.

Last night we slept to the sound of rain on the roof.  This morning the sun was trying to shine so we went for a long walk up to a little lake and back.  It's autumn here now so the leaves are just starting to turn colour.  The  forest was dripping wet overhanging the path we were on and the forest perfume was almost intoxicating.  Luckily we took the umbrellas because it started pouring again just before we got back to the trailer.

At the moment I'm baking bread.  I had brought the mixed ingredients with me so all I had to do was add some warm water and mix.  It's rising right now and after that I will bake it outside in the portable BBQ.
