I want to go camping but i am Doing Something every sodding weekend til the school holidays start

[fillyjonk]

and then its all a bit pointless because the nice campsites will become full up with people who use plastic cafetieres and stoves

life is so hard

I know what you mean. Before kids we had loads of free W?Es to go camping etc off the cuff.

Now we have a perpetual rotation of visits!

yes that is exactly it

or school fetes in the pissing rain

or kiddie birthday parties

and its always ONE thing too, always on the saturday.

We don't really take that much, Surely you don't travel with less than this?!

Perhaps you could take over the yurt which has been erected in the foyer of the Wales Millennium Centre? Tis rather lovely, though seems to be covered in a Melin Tregwynt style woollen covering which I'm sure isn't quite right.

there's a lot of fields around this way FJ maybe that would suit? Cow pats and all just your style

See I would have thought any cafetierre to you would be better than instant?

BTW found a nice looking smallish site driving round Usk way a few weeks ago if you want a link? Near the iron chain bridge

Is there something wrong with coffee on a campsite? Am I the butt of unkind jokes with my filter funnel ?

FJ is obsessed with campsites that oprovide decent coffee

usk site

Provide coffee? I thought she was a back to basics hard arse...

nopt for kids but near to a fab old pub

I know, it ahs to be xcomplete back to basics dirt toilet lentily but then ahve a starbucks in the middle

( FJ)

North Norfolk is the place you you Filly.

oooh achuarly i am tempted by that peachy

dp can't take ANY time off but i am working on a cunning plan to make my friends come camping with me. they haven't actually got tents or anything but still...am on charm offensive, oh yes camping is luverly oh no it never pisses with rain. Stray greyhounds in tents? oh no that NEVER happens. etc.

ps coffee fans you don't need a plastic cafetiere, you need one of these

course i can't sodding drink coffee til february 2008

ps why is north norfolk the place for me?

am often in norfolk, as it happens...is there good camping?

Hawkins Bazaar ahve got thsoe quite cheap FJ- saw them and thougt of you actually!

have you been to the Skirrid Inn? fab. They even have lots of ghosts (will find the website) and rm, a noose

oooh I'm sooooo scared

The other one I posted (Usk) is nice too, there's a family pub nearby, and a lovelya rea. We go apst it regularly, there's um-

a big tent shop nearby

hee hee

North Norfolk is the place for someone who shuns plastic cafetieres in favour of a Sebastian Conran-designed, um, cafetiere

But yes, there is good camping in North Norfolk.

oh i just want to go camping, aargh. i am going to look at those sites now on the flimsy pretext of doing calculus.

dp has just found our semi-posh sleeping bags, yay.

nah thats bllx re north norfolk

my pil live there and they are the reigning king and queen of tupperwear and formica. My MIL folds plastic bags...

But the people who camp there don't live there filly.

ah! i see the logic

actually i think blackberry wood is my spiritual home, esp the wheelbarrow and the rats. and my god one day i will go there...

nhs grey mug for FJ
