I do bloke glamping. My Ranch had red cherry lights and candle lanterns outside last time.

            and

my frontier stove has two sizes of red enamel coffee pots and a tea can on top.

Perhaps these items were not visible from the non smokie side of the field?

I did wonder about fitting the frontier stove inside, I'll have to see what space is available.

I've been after one of these little Cabanon style tents for a couple of years now, but always got outbid. Would have prefered one with a side window, but this will do fine.

Hope to see you all soon

OK well I went and collected the supposedly mint condition Calais yesterday.

Guess what, it is imaculate

Result, just about to go and give it a trial pitch, on some local grass.

If it was not for a very small amount of dry grass inside the inner tent, and a few little mud marks on the underside of the inner tent ground sheet, It would be as new.

I have of course already had a trial pitch in the lounge, a major benifit of these tiny frame tents.

Well please share the photos when you've got that little beauty up Raf. I'm forever looking at mini canvas tents. Wish I could persuade OH that I need one just because ...
