Camping

Cor, it's definitely the end of warm days isn't it - and to prove it we went camping. Yep, beginning of October and we pack up and head to a Forrest to live rough for a couple of days - ????

Actually the first night was really, mighty painful. I woke up with head freeze, and decided I wasn't tough, I was a girly girl and was going home........then I spotted my unopened bottle of mulled wine - mmmmmmm wine warmed on an open fire.

That was me, I stuck it out the Saturday night as well, and had a lovely time. Nicky and I went with Kathryn and Andrew, and stayed in Kathryn's dad's Forrest. How wonderful, it has deer and a bird hide where we sat and pondered whilst watching beautiful birds and a cheeky squirrel. We had a constant roaring fire, food, good company and plenty of trees.

It was a lovely weekend, and spooky enough, I managed to sleep for 10 hours on Saturday night (maybe that was the mulled wine - didn't even notice my air bed deflating).

Kathryn and me - wrapped up and looking good!

haha, it does look like our bums are on fire doesn't it! Trust me they weren't, quite the opposite! The first night I would have needed a very large bottle of brandy then whisky to knock me out!! The second night it was just the one bottle - honest guvner.
