The van park was sold at the end of last season so the new owners are managing some things slightly differently. There’s a more casual feel about the place for a start…..
Grounds and garden maintenance is happening as usual , safety issues mean things like tall palm fronds are removed (can’t have them falling down on RVs or campers) but the hedges between sites that provide a bit of privacy have been let grow slight taller. It was nice to not see the square formal look……
…..because it meant that many of the hibiscus hedges were allowed to flower. There was some colour about the place – blooms of different shapes and colours not seen for the past few years were appearing again.
When we got home from Rose Bay on Wednesday The Golfer said……‘something’s different’ but couldn’t put his finger on it
I knew straight away what it was…..
The gardeners had been playing barbers……..
Realistically we know nothing stays the same and what a shock it is when it doesn’t – see THIS POST about my reaction to previous changes here – now changes are happening again.
One that has been welcomed by all the long stay winter visitors is the return to the system where actual sites can be booked ahead for the next year – no more filling in a request form then waiting till the new year to see what/where you have been allocated. Yes, those who have been coming for years become quite protective about their site and want the same one each time plus there’s always one neighbour they don’t want to be parked next to…..
Guess who knows which cabin they are going to be in when they return next year…..
