Dwellingup with Thomas
It’s been ages since I last spent time with Tom although he is one of my closest friends. I say it’s because he lives in ‘Africa’ which in sam-speak means very far away.
“Rug up.” he tells me, when we’re planning our catch up. I ask where we are going and he tells me it’s a surprise.
We end up on our way to Dwellingup and although the name is familiar to me, I can’t seem to remember if it’s because I went there as a child or because I had in my mind that it was a place I wanted to go. It’s absolutely beautiful and I’m glad that I am able to create some memories and make it more than just a familiar sounding name to me. We pick up some snacks on the way and as we arrive and jump out of the car, the temperature has noticeably dropped. Tom goes to speak and we notice the mist coming from both of our mouths. “I told you to rug up…” He says amused.
