Not sure it qualifies as a 'purchase' so much as an acquisition!
Needed a Gazebo (the one we borrowed last year no longer available!) to act as a food shelter for this year's BBQ at our annual rescue dog charity camping weekend that I organise. After asking around friends and contacts without joy, put the Wanted post up on Freegle, quickly got a response from a lovely couple offering what I asked for.
Arrived to pick it up, and they apologised that it only had 2 sides, not the 3 or 4 that I'd asked for, not to worry, we can improvise I said.
Got it home, checked it was in functional order and all the poles and joints were there, and discovered ZERO, NO, ZILCH sides, just the canopy!
Back to the beginning! - still looking for a functional gazebo, or maybe just side panels. Life is a game of snakes and ladders, with the rug whipped out from under your feet occasionally just when you thought you were winning!

A caravan. I'm getting old now so I need a easier life. Central heating, hot water on tap, super nice shower room with toilet and wash basin, nice comfy bed, nice kitchen with fridge/freezer with plenty of room for wine, built in music system, nice to arrive on site and all set up in half an hour then find the nearest pub. Done camping for years but as I said I need comfy now.
Ditto Shanty, made the transition a few years ago now, one of the wisest things I've done. Love camping and the whole shebang, EXCEPT fighting with tents in generally inclement weather, and the aches that tell me I'm a daft old s*d for doing it! Caravaning is glorious.
Still tent camp with friends occasionally, but the load is spread and it's a bit easier, but other's are questioning their ability to carry on as time takes it's toll on various 'old git' health aspects. I'd forgotten about it, but I did buy a new smaller tent in the end of last season sales for this years trip to France, as one of our 'old crocks' dropped out and a smaller tent seemed more suited to our needs and abilities.
