We've all blethered on pleasantly on Seashells' lovely previous thread and, with the school holidays approaching, lots of us are about to start our summer adventures( not all of which are in tents....!) This thread is for us all to check back in and generally keep in touch. So we've packed up our Icey-Teks and our Tarps and our Death Socks, gently doused the burning embers of our planning campfire and rinsed out the wine glasses.
We're ready for our Awfully Big Adventure.
Come and talk about yours here (even if you're staying put!)

should have been a comma between stay and staring there...
I don't mean you have to stay staring at axes - it might make everyday life a bit difficult!

Just making myself a space on this thread
I missed a couple of days of the last thread and it careered off without me. But I'm looking forward to checking in here and reading about all your adventures throughout the summer. Our next trip will be a week at the end of August - probably Norden Farm if we can still get in.
Happy hols everyone

this summer holidays i am going to try camping by the beach with my four monsters (6,5 and 2y old twins) on my own in the soulpad while DH is busy at work. i have several campsites lined up not far away for one or two nights at a time. i am sure it will be total madness but memory making (hopefully good memories and not of a mad mummy running around like a loon rounding up children). we are also going to the 'just so festival' (and i am making DH go to that).
i am sure my camping uniform will be totally scruffy, sandy and windswept but i might make a bit more effort at the festival as i am sure there will be some yummy mummies there. i might even pack a skirt

I shall mention the campsite AFTER the trip as I looked at some reviews yestrerday, several hundred said fab three said shite and I am panicking LMAO; if I post and everyone goes eeeeeeek I will combust!
But Brittany, that much I will say . Sailing to Caen at 8.15.
my camping uniform by night is every layer I can possibly add! I do wear make up but that is becuase I have the worst type of hair for camping; thick, a wave and gravity defying: my hair and no make up and I would be put in a zoo

Am back on iPhone think I found it difficult because it wasnt obvious and I need it spelling out
However it is actually quite fab - I was struggling to manipulate the Big thread.
One of the reasons I bought it was to access wifi when in Forrin so hopefully it will do the job!
Have a lovely trip Peachy and everyone else off on their travels.
Hope Losty can find us !
Hi Slubber off to another weirdy unique campsite tonight ?
I want a cat on a lead. Or an axe. Wonder if either are available in the Kindle Store ?
