Its been a while - but here's to camping!

I know! Its be simply ages since I last updated my blog, but, well, things have been rather hectic…. although, saying that I really don’t have that much to write about.

Anyway, here is your long awaited instalment of my life……………

In true British style, we have made an exceptionally brave decision and invested in some camping equipment! Most people who know me are probably staring dumbfounded at the computer screen now as this is something that I wouldn’t have even contemplated before. But, after a rather nightmareish few weeks at work and an even worse month end at work, I feel that a weekend camping is better than a weekend thinking about work and being at home. And so, equipment bought we have ventured out on our first weekend experience of the out door life.

Of course, I hasten to add its basically poured with rain ever since we bought everything – only we could think of doing this in probably the wettest year the UK has ever experienced.

That being said we have visited our first campsite and had a fairly successful weekend. Once I had got over the fact that it wasn’t at all like the film Carry on Camping I actually discovered it wasn’t nearly as bad as I had imagined.

The “facilities” were actually excellent, and the showers had under floor heating, and as an added luxury that I didn’t think actually existed, lockable doors on the shower cubicles.

Of course, me being me had forgotten to take a hair brush with me, and the first thing I did when we had successfully put up the tent without any arguments, was have a shower and wash my hair (not realising before hand that I hadn’t actually packed that all important hair brush).

My hair, being quite thick, quite fine, and quite long (half way down my back), didn’t take long to accurately look like bushy and unkempt. Rob, much to his amusement I think, made me stay like that until we went to Tesco the next day where I could purchase a brush! Arghh.
