When we arrived at Parnassus, after a stop for coffee in Cheviot, we found we were the only people there. We went for a walk around the field. Frieda looked so small all on her lonesome! It was lovely and peaceful, with plenty of bird song, and sparrows and fantails flitting around, keeping us entertained.
These grounds used to be Parnassus school. The remaining building has recently been done up. There is carpet on the floor, comfy chairs and a couple of toilets, All for $6 a night.
Late afternoon a few more vans trickled in. I think there were 7 of us in all. We had our first BBQ on this trip. The weather has not been very kind so far.
Next day severe weather was again forecast. We moved a metre or so on to the hard surface, just in case. Apparently there were hailstones as big as golf balls in Timaru. We had some heavy rain briefly, but not too much of a problem. A good day for listening to music, and a couple of episodes of The Crown, though we did manage a 5km walk up and down the road before the rain started.
