Well it's been a particularly full on year. Having decided to expand Brad's little one man show business in February, it has been scramble and go every day since. Despite pure exhaustion, we are proud to say business is going well. 10 months in, we are fully employed, recruited another 2.1 staff, have a 100% positive feedback rating from all customers and have been able to close up for Xmas and take a well earned break.

So we decided on self isolation - not of the covid brand. The jump in the bus and find somewhere cool and quiet to see out the Christmas Crazy.

No need for all the drama - yes we miss our family over in Vic & Qld, but not because it's Christmas. We always miss them!
We are not religous. We are not consumerists. We are not lovers of plastic trees, tinsel or fat men in red suits. If we want something or to give a gift, we do it anytime - not because it's Christmas. Get the picture?

We have wound down our Christmas significantly every year the last 4 years or so. This year we wound it down to none! Sure we gave the kids a gift a couple of weeks before Christmas, we took off on Christmas Eve and found our happy place, in the bus, on the road. Found ourselves in Frankland River where we dined at the "Country Club" for dinner Xmas eve, and spent Xmas day relaxing in isolation, exploring around Frankland River, then back to chill out. And it was a perfect first day away.

We are kind of forced to stay and chill a few more days as we forgot to fill up the car, so have used all the fuel we have exploring yesterday. The bus has around 1/4 tank left so we need to wait until the servos open again before hitting the road. It's a heatwave in Perth (44 degrees today) and even Australind, but a pleasing low to mid 30's here. As the weather creeps up over the next few days, we shall head further southeast keeping to the low 30's - it's bliss.
