We camped on Friday to Saturday and it was lovely, better than most weekends this Summer. It was even relatively mild at night!

And if you'd paid to pitch it somewhere you could have guaranteed rain I bet. Sods law I guess!

I can't wait until half term but then that'll be it until April/May I suppose. Hubby running out of hols too doesn't help either. Why can't we win the lottery and then we could go camping without interuptions like work! Oooh may start window shopping for a bigger tent and lots of gadgets just in case we win on Saturday lol! Well, a girl's gotta do something to pass these winter months right? Now then, where did I see that inflatable sofa...........

If you have a problem stressing you, sort it. If you can't, there's no point worrying about it coz it won't make a blind bit of difference!!!! Jules

We went we went!!   Only one night just to try the new tent, and the weather was gorgeous.  I was all dressed up in warm clothes and ended up with a right sweat on putting up the tent.  It was even warmer on Sunday, perfect for the hour spent trying to get the tent back in the bag .  That's it for us now though til next year

I went away, it was my Birthday weekend, and we had booked a Sun Holiday weeks ago in Hunstanton. Stayed in a chalet, so not an official camping trip, but the weather was beautiful. We said we could easily have taken the tent this weekend. Our coats stayed in the boot of the car, and we spent 2 whole days on the beach, paddling and messing about in the rock pools.

Absolutely Wonderful!
