Well what I actually mean is – I’m not longing to go home.
(It’s warm and sunny up here – cold wet and blowing a gale down south)
Just longing for home so I can sleep in my own bed…..which is at home.

Life in our little home from home cabin is trundling along nicely as it usually is at this stage of our stay. I don’t mention it but I still have reservations before we arrive about how I’ll cope in the small space ….same as when I wrote this post several years ago
👉- Just for a few weeks – 👈
It’s just that this year because of the ongoing ‘back issue’ the bed is bothering me.
I know the mattresses were replaced not long ago and even though commercial standard they are only ‘medium firm’, unfortunately this year the mattress topper I bring from home each visit isn’t making a difference. So I’ve gone to the extreme of placing spare blankets underneath as well in the hope of making it firmer…..which isn’t giving me quite the support I hoped it would.
Result……ouchy stiff back and legs plus cranky Catherine!
And then there’s the blinds…..
When we first started coming up (2008) the cabins were only a few years old – 4* luxury compared to others on the road – well maintained but starting to look a little tired the new owners (4 yrs now) had them ‘renovated’ over the past low season – not redesigned… brand new fixtures and fittings in the same layout as before….with just one difference- the window curtains were replaced with Holland/Roller blinds. Two sorts – one privacy (see out not in….unless the lights on) the other a heavier blackout one.
Nice clean lines, just not my favourite window covering…..I find them a PITA nuisance
Get a breeze and it’s clatter bang against the window frame…..try sleeping with that going on….nah not possible.
Try lifting them up or getting your hand round the side in the middle of the night to close windows……bl*** awkward in the dark.
Result…..some mornings (because there’s never a time in Bowen when there is no breeze) a tired annoyed cranky Catherine!

Thankfully the door still has curtains so it’s left open at night (screen closed)
You know what’s evident in these photos……I’m able to survive with a lot less clothing than at home
PLUS
I pack my craft supplies in the same ‘bags’ which are left at the bottom of the bed each time

It’s been one of those weeks when things haven’t gone the way I wanted them to – I should back on Monday, hopefully not in such a Moaning Minnie mood
