Camping

We survived 3 days of living in the middle of nowhere. It was quite an adventure and experience camping with a little baby. The weather was glorious when we arrived and we had a fun BBQ. But, it all changed when we entered the tent. You had the most bewildered look on your face and cried, not wanting to sleep. You must be wondering where in the world you were, and why confined in such a small space. You woke up many times and I felt so sorry for 'P' who took the second bedroom in our tent.

Saturday was miserable as it rained the whole day. The poor kids (9 altogether) were so disappointed as they could not build the campfire that they were waiting for. It was also not fun for us as you were frustrated being cooped up. Keeping you entertained was hard work with the few toys we had. I was so tempted to hop in the car and drive home. Unfortuantely we could not unpitch the tent in the rain and so had no choice but to stay put, which turned out to be a good thing in the end. It's been a long while since we slept so early.

Sunday was a different day altogether. We were all awake by 5 plus and enjoyed the fresh air and scenery. You saw chickens, sheep, a pony, pigs and cows. We then had games with a full English breakfast.



The kids also built the campfire and we had 'ikan bakar' from 'river Tesco', 'roti bakar' and baked potatoes, carrot and butternut squash. You thoroughly enjoyed yourself playing with the kids and napped really well tucked in your pushchair, out in the fresh air.


Would I go again? Probably in a year's time when you're much older :) and after much prayer for good weather.
