Murray Town

Sat 17^th May 

We spent a pleasant and restful day in Murray own waiting for our friends Jan and Bernie to arrive.  We had power, a camp kitchen, excellent hot showers and a clean ablution block. We had the whole camping area to ourselves and had parked in a hollow square, leaving the fourth side for Jan & Bernie. That was until another van arrived and wanted that space – “First come best dressed,” he made the mistake of saying. Needless to say we soon found him somewhere park.  In our space was a big tractor rim for a fire and we found some logs for the brilliant fire we had at night. In the town (one shop) was a lovely old hotel that has been closed for years and is now under renovation and  open as a coffee shop, with the hope of regaining the licence in the future. We strolled up to it and had delicious hot coffee/chocolate and home-made apple sponge /honey roll. Heather, the proprietor is obviously a brilliant cook. If you are ever in Murray Town, do yourself a favour and drop in for coffee and cake.
