hi all....

well we are back from 4 days at the blue dolphin and our hol definitely did not go to plan....when we  arrived on monday we were told to pick a pitch then let them know the number....easier said than done... it was raining and the field was chocka block...the only free pitches were the ones under water...haha... eventually a very kind couple moved there car which made a space for us although very cosy with them..

on tuesday the weather improved and so the muddy bog in front of the tent dried out...thank god...

wednesday we went out for the day and once we had taken all our paraphanelia out of the boot. it wouldn't shut...the lock had jammed..we had made plans to meet up with people so we had to leave the car with boot open ajar whilst we tried to enjoy our day...on the return journey to camp myself and teenage daughter had to tie with shoe lace and crawl through boot...very ladylike..haha.17 green flag arrived  at site and fixed the problem so we thought great at least we are sorted for journey home on thursday...

thursday arrives and we sent teenage daughter and friend over to amusements to have last go before we return home and we would pack up camp...everything went very smooth and fitted neatly into car..yes we were very pleased with ourselves...so we drove over to pick daughter up...she had a huge coat on??? and it was boiling so i told her to take it off before getting in car...however oh did not hear and set off running over daughters foot....1717

first aider was called and we had to promptly take her to hospital were after an  x-ray we were told it was only badly bruised...thank god...we are booked to go to akebar today...but think we are cursed....17

hi mandyo and anned

oh dear, sounds like you had a great camping trip, full of great days and little happenings,

dont worry it happens to us all, it really does......

ive got so many little things that have gone wrong, id proably cry writing them all up, but i havent let it affect my love of camping, i just use each trip to make sure the next trip we dont repeat the actions

good luck for the next trip out
