I had a proper long post and then the internet ate it up.
Bedgebury looks lovely, Lovecat. A shame it's only August - I'm planning to do The Deed and cut the hole for the wood stove after BH weekend, so hoping to do some late camping at the end of September and maybe October too. It will probably be one of the normal suspects like BB Wood, Wowo, Forgewood etc.
Chance that dh might have to go abroad (not to Free Willy Land, I hope hasten to add), so can't book before that's final. I have a lot of respect for some of you going on your own. I revert back to being a helpless little girly when camping. Except for the fires and the axe, of course. Oh, and I'm not little or girly. Hmm, now that I think about it, I'm just lazy when camping and need dh there to do the hard jobs. Lazy better than pathetic, right?
Glamping. Ah, I couldn't care less what people call me, really, but I also think of it as the prepitched tent or yurt set-up. I have bunting, fairy lights (somewhere, can't find it this year) and a canvas tent, but then I boil my water on a kelly kettle and smell like smoke, so probably don't qualify anyway. Glamping prob the camping equivalent of a fancy b&b now insisting it's a boutique property.
Axe - I'm ridiculously excited too, and I can only tell you lot as people not getting the whole camping thing would just not understand. They might also add my name to the People To Watch Out For list. I can give you a preview, Reshape. Here: Hand Hatchet. Once I've got mine, I'll bore you with a real-life photo.
Yellow, will go and have a look at your thread now. Tried earlier but then internet dropped. Don't know what's up with our connection at the moment, it's annoying.
Phew, this is a novel I'm writing here. Will shut up now.
