The same week we bought our Izmir, our Daughter and Partner bought a bell tent, we are both so happy with our purchases.
Off they went to Coniston Hall Camp site during the wind and rain, and had a fab time
We were out when they returned, and chatted later about their trip and their lovely tent, Oh said the DD there's some stuff drying in the dining room..
Its a good job I love them, and camping, and have a large dehumidifyer....
------------- Proud owner of a 1987 Sprite Alpine 370 EK, a cheap popup tent and a beloved retro Trio frame tent from the early seventies, called Giraffen.
Our friends have a 5m bell tent and live in a very small second floor apartment, when theirs needs drying they hang it out of the window down the side of the building using the guy ropes to tie it to the bed frame.
Where there's a will there's a way??

Do the people on the 1st floor mind their windows being blocked by tent canvas??

Love the Millais on the chimney breast!!!
It's not just me that spots these things then! It made me chuckle when I saw it, as I've been sewing non stop for four days and I strike the same pose every time I try to stand up.
Anne - How was the izzy? Did you take any pics? Lol at the bell Tent drying, but we campers have to be resourceful!
I did not get any worthwhile pics cos we were at a fest and rammed in together, however it stood up to bow on gale force winds, and its soooo pretty! I have spent the last hour cutting up green and lilac material to make bunting.
You should get one! I have always used one and feel lost without it - sad thing is my Janome overlocker is over 20 years old and I can't find a new motor (I have burnt it out) If you do fancy one I can recommend the Janome 9200D. You can get it for £199 from John Lewis and it's a great entry level domestic machine - I may get one myself if I can't repair mine
