Last day of Camp - finishing with a flourish

The eight days have just whizzed by so fast.   We are pretty tired, with meetings starting at 7.30am and finishing around 9pm but the experience is well worth it all.  Today the weather was just sublime, with a sky so blue you'd think that the rain had never happened.  The ground is sandy here so the water just drained away and we have bits of annexe and bedding draped here there and everywhere to dry out.  Most of it, including Nathan's woollen doona, dried fine and some of it will finish off tomorrow.

The big tent was full,

The band was in great tune, playing musical 'comments' to the Pastors who were making announcements etc Our friend Richard is clever at stitching together photos and he took some great ones of the full width of the tent - they look really good.  I'm going to see whether I can wheedle a copy from him.  I think he also stitched together a better view of the band.  In this photo of mine you can't even see the organ behind the piano.

Not bad for a bunch of casual musicians who have nothing in common except that they all play musical instruments!  They would practice each day around 4pm and that was it.  And they did an excellent job all through Camp.

And of course Dolly Rose the Amen dog was in excellent voice too.

The dining room was full as usual - we went at lunch time, and at dinner time Peter went up and bought some tea as well since it was the last day.  For lunch we had spinach and cheese crepes, vegies, green salad, and lemon meringue pie.  Not too shabby at all!  Can you spot us at the table?

We had a lovely day, ending with a concert tonight that was really enjoyable and funny too, by a group of musicians.

Some people were leaving straight after the concert - we'd hate to be leaving at night-time.  Animals are on the road, you are tired, and we just don't like driving when we should be in bed.  I'm so pleased that we get to enjoy this lovely spot for a few more days!
