The ground around here remains muddy. Our feet can get stuck very easily, making it difficult to clean them when we come back inside. The Mistress would be far from happy to see muddy footprints inside. It would be, please explain, and in a growly voice too!

The humans are very stressed by this caravan business. An investigation is underway behind the scenes with specific government departments, which will likely prolong the duration of this business. But surely it has gone on for long enough. Evidently not. 

So, we wait and are unable to move on. It is so hard for a mere Gnome to understand this legal business. She reckons this will end up in court. I suggested that if he has broken the law, then this is final. Evidently not. I have a lot to learn.

Golfed yesterday, and then another caravan appeared around here. The twin and his wife offloaded it here. What, 2 Caravans. I can see it when I look out the window.

The Mistress went out this afternoon to goodness knows where. She came home and started making 3 large Bacon and Egg Pies. It appears there is a family bereavement, and they want to take some food down. 

  This sounds serious. They are taking the other caravan down for accommodation. There may be a few people, so it's best to bring their own. Evidently, a funeral is no place for a Gnome.  So, this is the caravan that His Lordship owned, and his brother bought it off him. They are fortunate to have a generous family to lend it to. I hope I get to go too. I stayed in it several times while these humans got to know each other. Now look at them. It appears that camping agreed with them; then they bought a bigger one, and then, look what happened. The Mistress has no plans to ever buy another caravan. She is over it, well and truly.

Life is a fascinating journey, they reckon. A wide range of things happen daily. "It's called retirement," it appears. The Mistress is well involved in this community. Some days, we hardly see her. The peace without her requests for help is a nice change for him and me. With only one car now, His Lordship often drops her off, then goes back to pick her up. She enjoys having a chauffeur these days and beats the car park issues. The township is nearby with all the amenities they require. 

They have been outside measuring up this little plot we rest on. Something is up, because I can feel it in my waters.
