February 3rd, After a quiet weekend, Val is
slowly recovering from her Chesty Cough and showing signs of improving.
February 4th, After lunch we took a drive down to
Summerland Point, as we wanted to make a start on looking at the Manufactured
Home Villages on the Central Coast. We are planning to settle down sometime
this year and need to “sus-out” what we could expect to get, for the amount of
money that we will have. We were about half way to our destination when it
started raining, so Val was destined not to be out of the car today. We
couldn’t find any sign of a MH Village at Summerland point so I ducked in to
the PO and was told the nearest was Chain Valley. We then went down to Chain
Valley and drove around the suburb, decided that this area didn’t appeal to us,
so drove back out again. We pulled in to “Parktrees Village” on the Pacific
Highway at Lake Munmorah. They had 1 pre-loved and 1 new home for sale. Both
out of price range but we decided that it wasn’t the Village for us, as the
roads were narrow and access to the carport would be poor.
February 6th, We went out again today to look at
a couple of MH Villages at Budgewoi, that I had looked at on the internet. We
put the address we had for “Sunnylake Shores” into our Navigator and it couldn’t
find it, so my information wasn’t right. We then went to “Bevington Shores” and
they had 4 Pre-loved homes available. We were taken on a tour around the
Village and shown the 4 homes. We found minor faults with all of them but one
did look OK and we said that we could fix it up. This Village was on the
foreshore of Lake Munmorah, handy for fishing. We tried again to find Sunnylake
Shores, by using different suburbs in the address, but gave up in the end and
went home.
February 7th, Val has still got that chesty cough
hanging on, so it looks like another quiet week-end coming up. We have decided
to move on next Tuesday, no matter what, and go to Anna Bay for a week and have
our annual health check-up, with our Doctor at Salamander Bay.
February 10th, After another search of the
Internet I came up with another Relocatable Home down at Green Point, near
Erina. It was through a Real Estate and the write-up sounded good and it was in
our price range. We drove down to Green Point and met the Salesman out front of
the Village. We noticed a BI-LO Shopping Centre just around the corner from the
Village, so that was the first good point and only a couple of Klms from Erina
Shopping Complex. The Rep. drove us
around to the home for sale and first thing was that it didn’t have a Carport
but had a parking space just opposite. We walked through the house and back
out, without barely stopping. It was a complete dump, probably 1930 style, the
“L-Shaped” verandah was around a metre wide and we had nothing good to say about
it. We told the sales Rep. that anyone buying this would have to knock it down
and have a new place built. Definitely not interested at any price and they
wanted $80k. We then went to the other side of Erina to look at another home at
Terrigal Waters Village but it had been taken off the market. We decided to
call it a day and it was early afternoon, so we went home through The Entrance
and called in to see Carole and Rob, Gwen and Neal, who were all holidaying at
Dunleith Tourist Park. We were surprised to learn that Rob had just got back
from Westmead Hospital, in Sydney, after having a bowel repair operation. We
had afternoon tea with Carole and Rob and caught up with Gwen and Neal’s news,
then drove home to Blacksmiths after wishing Rob a speedy recovery. We did a
bit of packing up ready to leave in the morning for Bays Holiday Park at Anna
Bay.
