Big Surprise On New Year's Day

The best New Year's present came for us at 3.30pm, when we moved to our present address we have had to wait until now to have a huge caravan removed from outside our windows, this caravan was taking up space that belonged to our unit, the owner was overseas and we had to wait from June 2010 until 1/1/2011 for his caravan to be removed. It was not an easy task as it was not road worthy (no WOF for those in NZ)
therefore the owner had to arrange for a truck transporter to come and collect the van and transport it back to Victoria, where the owner now was back in the country.
But wait there's more as the van was so large it could not be turned around to allow the transporter into the complex to winch the van up onto the truck therefore another ph call to the owner's father (who is a Scotsman) and advise him of this, we said to him it will need a tow firm to come and tow the van out of the complex and onto the road - Ohhhh said the Scotty that will cost me another $100 - not our problem, tow truck arranged for New Years Day and that was the end of the monster away from our windows - and we now have light and sun coming in so therefore we don't feel like we are living in a dark tunnel any longer.
With the big van gone it gave us the room we needed to go up to the Sunseeker Village Caravan park hook up our little poptop van and bring her back down here with us, we spent the next day cleaning her as she had been under a tarp for so long and needed the awning rolled out so we could clean it down.
We now have our little " Poppy " parked out along side the unit however because she is so small and nowhere as high as the other van it does not block any light out at all.
