That's a wrap & the last cow is rolling out the driveway, heading home.
Day 3 was no less hectic in the kitchen, but at least we were in the air-con on such a hot day 😉
Thank you to all the participants, & their parents, for happily eating your way through our supplies. You were a great bunch.
A special thankyou must go to the parents & locals who volunteered their time; those who shared their skills & knowledge; & those who baked such delicious goodies. You are appreciated.
A special thanks must go to my new buddy Nyssa, Tony & Duncan ... & of course, the Sundermann family (Dom, Bindi, Flynn & Ivy) for pulling yet another successful camp together, basically on their own. Amazing humans 💕 🙏
See you next year. Hopefully you all made it home before the storm hit.
