[PavlovtheCat]

We have a soulpad 4000 lite

We have been to Cornwall twice - porthcothan near Mawgan Porth, in a lovely little off the beaten track campsite right on the cliffs. Watched a beautiful sunset on Friday evening. We have been to Burrator on Dartmoor.

We are planning on going to france at some point, but not sure when. We are planning on going back to the campsite we have just been to, and we are planning on finding as many little off the beaten track sites with good sea/river access as we can find before I stop camping for the year due to pregnancy.

What do I lust after? Long term, a woodburner. Short term (more realistic this year!) some bunting for my guy ropes and solar fairy lights for the inside of my tent.
