Challenge of new places and packing

On a boat, packing involves finding dry places. In a campervan the challenge is to find places that things cannot jump out of en route.

Dana does not like being rained upon from above by all manner of books and pamphlets.

Wise words from Ghandi

Wise words from MK Ghandi (20th century)

We must widen the circle of our love until it
embraces the whole village; the village in
turn must take into its fold the district; the
district the province, and so o­n till the scope
of our love encompasses the whole world.

The Church of Scotland is adept at re-inventing its structures.
A colleague recently described the new Council of Assembly as the Politbureau.

I do not disagree.

Gadgets

Caravans, motorhomes and camping all come with a multitude of gadgets these days. o­ne of the most entertaining is the remote gubbins that turns a caravan into a remote-control toy vehicle. No more of the yelling and gesticulating as the driver (usually a woman) attempts to manoevre near to the hitch; no more of the grunting and puffing as the operative (usually a man) attempts to heave the hitch o­nto the tow-ball.

Actually, the gadgetry is even more entertaining. People take longer and don't want to give up.
But at least it is easier o­n the back.
