What a delightful town! I want to live there, she had Never said before ๐Ÿ˜‚ There was a mini festival for people with disabilities, so this steampunk went to investigate on foot. Meandering through the town on market day, there were very many delightful & wondrous things to discover! What a joy to find a town of friendly people!  This guy! Guardian of the Town Hall I suspect in his Kiwi beefeaters uniform๐Ÿ˜‰ So many original buildings still in wonderful condition Just look at the details they used to put on buildings purely for asthetic purposes  ~sigh…I  do love a good piece of art Ooh a sample shop…chocolates? Coffee?  And no town would be complete without its sentinel. The Town Hall Clock I think the doctor may be nearby… Even the footpaths are decorative A fabulous little cafe full to the brim with teapot. I Dont recommend the coffee tho๐Ÿ˜‰ It seems they have a famous horse or two

So yesterday I decided to make the tricky transition from semi knowledgeable woman to electrically charged woman. I went to a day workshop to learn about electrical systems. By morning tea my poor brain was veritably sparking with amps & volts. Memo to self…must buy one of these It’s a solar controller ๐Ÿ˜‰ Jostling with a couple of hundred other women who were like wolves at a meat sale I tried to absorb the information & fill out my knowledge based on Electrical systems for Motorhomes. Why you ask, when Steamin Along is going up for sale? Because I’m looking at doing my own build๐Ÿ˜‰ I forgot to take pics of the setup on display, such was my need to get out of there mid afternoon ๐Ÿ˜‚ It was crazy! With women fawning over the speaker like he was the best thing since sliced bread, I couldn’t get near the equipment to look at it. We talked about solar panel setup, bus bars, volts, amps, amp hours, energy storage, diesel heaters, batteries with blue tooth & monitoring systems etc.
