Gutters and Bushells Tea flowing...

US Monday 10th July - 2018

Now this photograph below is also a very rare sight for me here in the ‘ex-Trolly-Dolly’s’ over 55’s Mobile Park here in Chandler, Arizona.

I purchased my upmarket 52ft x 12ft trailer here in Chandler, Phoenix back in 2012, I have never witnessed rain like what you can see in this photograph. The gutters on my patio were actually overflowing with water & you can see puddles of water on the ground.



During today's rare desert downpour my patio gutters overflowed
there had been no rain for the previous 119-days.

The green vehicle in the photo above is a Model T Ford, the Blue Pick up is a Model A Ford. The Guthrie Family here have at least 40 Model A Fords scattered on the property throughout the Park, & now that all the Snowbirds have returned to their various homes throughout the Northern States for summer it is very quiet around here.

Today I asked Sammy’s Dad, Sam Snr, how many people were resident in the park at the moment, he said that there were only 48 people. During their busiest time of the year (US winter time) when all the snowbirds are here from the northern States the park swells to 365 residents.


Gotta go, Sammy & another friend of mine will drop around in about 30-minutes for a cuppa & a selection of good old Arnott’s Classic Dark Aussie TimTam biscuits, washed down with Bushell's Blue Label Tea.


Cheers
