Ihave offered and been offered in the past.   One lovely lady even brought me some sausage butties and a pot of tea the time I was cooking porridge in the rain.    Beleive me I was grateful, as had forgotten to pack teabags - the first site had rung to cancel, desperate phone round found me a pitch - forgot to pick the packet of teabags up before I set off.   d

We're not too bad as I can set the camper up- fairly quickly.    However if it is just the kids and me in the tent I will always make sure that I can make a brew part way through pitching or before if I have had one of those journeys.

I don't drink tea or coffee so wouldn't think to offer a fellow camper a cuppa!

Even when friends visit us at home, I regulalry forget to offer to make a hot drink so now they just say "I'll make my own shall I?" as they head towards the kitchen!!

Wow - did you know I missed that  - that means I never got my mug..

But when we got to our pitch, the lovely 'campersherry' came over introduced herself to us and offered us a brew.

My husband declined, but I had a great coffee made for me. Much appreciated.

The only time it has been offered to us on setting up.

I've made drinks for new arrivals or people packing up many a time but no-one has ever offered me one!

At Three Cliffs Bay, a weary looking backpacker plodded up the hill one afternoon and asked if we minded him pitching next to us. When we said no, and I offered to pour him a cup of tea, you'd have thought we'd have told him he'd won the lottery by the look on his face! The next night, he shared a bottle of wine with us, which was sweet of him, I thought.
