Coffee

Oh how I love (and require that caffeine hit) a good coffee. We (well I especially) have become partial to a take-away coffee most mornings on my way to school class time, swimming, the beach, the park.

What was I going to do next year? And really I should be reducing our spending now too. We looked at coffee machines, but so expensive. I didn't want to take our pod machine, while so convenient and fast - there is no ritual in it and the taste isn't there. I also loved the idea of purchasing different beans on our way around - I love forming memories about places not just from my vision. To remember a place from the coffee I had each morning, sounded beautiful.

Dave put us onto the Aeropress. I LOVE it. I love the process. Measuring the beans, hand grinding them, boiling the kettle, frothing the milk, plunging. And we can try all sorts of beans. Currently we have the café round the corner favourite - Toby's Estate.

We have purchased our caravan - hip hip hooray! A 1994 Jayco Songbird. With the perfect 3 bunk, fold up (into wall) double bed and dinner.

I am so relieved we got the ideal layout. We were thinking, as there are so few about, that we would have to compromise for a smaller living area - with 2 bunks and the third child taking the fold down dinner bed.

We will make it our own.
