We warm the water on the stove and clip the battery airbed pump to the side of the paddling pool - hot tub with bubbles outside our tent

Paisley are you really coming to defend the glampers armed with a Heath Robinson hot tub?

Sounds a bit dangerous to me. Water and electricity....tut

OH NONONONONONONONO

I don't think so. It is by-the-by that the blue diamond has turned out to be an attractive piece of kit. It was purchased for all the right, sensible and proper reasons: Robustness, lack of falling down ability and noise levels.

Don't you be wielding my windbreak against me troutpout.

There is nothing glampy about a windbreak.

There is nothing glampy about my windbreak.

I am the distilled essence of non glampyness.

Do I need to remind you about your concern re non ironed clothes last week? Do I? Do I?

Slubber admit it, you are a little teeny bit verging on glampiness, it is a slippery slopw you knoe, designer windbreak today...country bunting next season, mark my words

Slubberdegullion · 01/07/2009 20:58

I am not!

I would be verging on the be-bunted cusp of glampyness if we had a trailer, or a bigger car or a bigger roofbox or all three but there is NO MORE SPACE.

There is yet more un-glamped kit I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed (like tables and chairs) that come before all the lovely pretty decorated stuff.

I will stay firm in camp utilitarian.

My windbreak is genuine 1970s retro - it is yellow then orange then beige then yellow again then a startling and unwelcome green then beige then yellow.

It still has it's original wooden poles and it clashes with my 22 yr old caravan which has brown velour curtains and green upholstery. There is not an awning in sight.

Am i a Glamper? (hopeful) ---->

You may laugh... you may sneer, but secretly I know you are all jealous of my poncetastic tea lights and throws and bunting!
