Our sojourn beside Storm King Dam continues, some earlier rain stopped, I set off and explored the property. As it is a catchment area, it was quite boggy and soggy at times, but provided some much needed exercise.
John had a weekend of motor racing to glue himself to and I started satin and lazy daisy stitching on my new project (basket of lavender), writing a few letters and cards.
The new parts for our awning arrived, and thankfully the weather gods kept fine and in 3 hours it was fitted, I observed it from a distance as I took another walk around this quite extensive property to view the holiday units further around the dam; complete with all you would need including swimming pool.

There was some more major rainfall predicted (already happening in other parts of our country) we changed our plans and stayed put as we heard there was flooding at Texas, St. George, Roma, Chinchilla, which we had planned to visit. We erected our new annexe and prepared to sit it out.
Eventually the expected rain turned up, very heavy falls, once again it collected in pools as the underground is granite, so we tossed away socks and sloshed through it to the amenities. Eventually it cleared to beautiful blue skies.
We drove to Texas one day and saw the signs of the rain damage on several sections of the road confirming our decision to stay put. We have filled in time touring the district and generally relaxing.
On Wednesday we plan to travel to Brisbane to celebrate Christmas with our family.
