We haven't had chance to go camping yet due to work commitments - was hoping to go on our very first family camping trip in the next month or so. Was hoping for the weather to be ok for our first trip to learn the ropes so to speak. Just scared of the muddy/flooding/windy weather we seem to be getting. Bought our tent at the end of last season after a lot of research and we've so been looking forward to getting out there.

Been on a school coach trip to Bridlington today and got soaked to the skin! We all knew it was going to be bad so it didn't dampen our spirits. But when its the school hols its so sad that the summer are so wet.

We are off to Bath and West Showground on Saturday for a week for New Wine. There are about 11,000 people there this week so the fields will probably be churned up but my only thought is that it can't be as wet as last year when I managed one cup of coffee sitting in the sun! 

I just hope it stops raining for about an hour on Saturday afternoon so we can get the tent up and then after that we have so much to do and as we will be there with friends we will enjoy it anyway.

We look out across the Mendips Hilary and I am afraid to say it has done nothing but rain here today.  Most of the time Glastonbury Tor has been hidden under rain clouds.

I'm off to the IOW on Saturday and despite weather forecast, I'm really looking forward to it. Was there last year and it really can't be as bad as it was then!

Being an eternal optomist, if the grounds wet at least it's easier to get the pegs in!
