Sorry, had to take a step back and remind myself that it is called camping.

We havent managed to get out of late and to be honest only managed one wet weekend away March of last year.

We decided (well the wifey twisted my arm) to buy a new tent this year (Vango Maritsa 700 for £319  Result!)  Bought a footprint, and a carpet.  Blow up blow up bed needed replacing, modified the trailer, bought a few other bits and bobs like you do.

Suddenly realised that this is more like a home from home rather than a break away in a tent.  This camping lark is serious stuff!

So.....what are your creature comforts you can't do without?   In the past I have spotted a 32" plasma TV (brilliant!) and a foot spa (pure class).

Come on, own up!

I can't abide drinking and eating out of plastic, so it has to be proper mugs and china plates for me.  Indulgence, I know, but when I'm happy the rest of 'em are happy

Oh absolutely!  Cuppa Rosey isn't a cuppa Rosey out of plastic!  

My kids bought me one of those 'ice tankards'.  Don't know if you've seen them?  I take that with me in the hope that the campsite has a communal freezer.  Fresh air and ice cold beer!  Heaven!

Also need the EHU for my beautiful new Outwell Tauri light.

Hm, snuggly, fleecy sleeping bag and thick poofy pillow. As long as my bed is cosy, everything else is negotiable

Have used the Tauri light in the tent - was really pleased how much light it gave off as the Ontario 8 living area is quite large.

Have also used the light in the caravan at home in the garage - made the inside look very cosy!!
