I'm edging towards glamping instead of camping - 5 yrs ago I would camp out on a beach with nothing but the sea to wash in, no running water or electricity, this time I've even made my own bunting to take with us Blush secretly rather pleased with my own handywork :o

Sherlock, we're going to Stiffkey so not far from you. Might have to visit the Muckleborough collection (DSs6,5,4 & my dad!).

I have shop bought bunting and take duvets and fairylights. I'm getting old!

Ooo we're going to Deer's Glade in Norfolk. Anyone been before? It's our first camping trip of the year - can't wait.

It's also the first since dd (2.1) is out of her travel cot and on an airbed ... should be entertaining Grin

I don't even look at weather forecasts any more!

Us too! As long as it stops raining long enough to get the tent up and dinner on it'll be fine. I can open the wine then! Grin

We are heading to the Gower, have the thermals, woolly hats and thick bed socks packed and waterproofs. Oh and a team case of tonsilitis, wondering if it is such a good idea now. Hope you all have a fab time.

Happy Camper Deer's Glade isn't far from us, and I've heard really good things about it. DH went to check it out for our first camping trip, only to find it fully booked for weeks ahead, so they must be doing something right. As you can tell, we don't venture very far for our weekend trips, but we tend to meet up with friends, so it's more a social than anything else. Breck Farm, where we're off to is quite basic, but it's pitch-where-you-like in 3 massive fields, campfires allowed and surrounded by woods so it's great. Have fun everyone - and here's to dry weather Grin
