DK, the windbreak looks great, I would love to order one but I'm afraid they do not ship to the continent... So I will have to do another DIY project and make the sunflower fabric to a windbreak.

Oh I love this thread. Nothing better to keep you going than having a look at other peoples set up. Thanks for sharing

Here's a few of my pics from last summer. This one has my OH doing the fry up. The fairy lights hung on the canopy are just white ones which are solar powered. (Tescos finest)

And here are the essential solar lanterns and bunting

with co-ordinating blue hanging storage (Ikea)

The pop up laundry bin takes up no space in transit but when you have two boys who go through clothes like there's no tomorrow then in comes in very handy! (Just copied this idea from other campers who have shared photos of their set up.)

Oh, and the hanging pegs come in handy for all sorts of stuff too...

DK, I LOVE your set up. Just fab! And the trailer... oh, how I would love one of those. Very nice indeed

It's the kind of tent which I would be finding excuses to walk by, very slowly, ha ha ha!

where's your small blue lamp from TraceyD?

I'm sorry I'm struggling to remember! Think it might have maybe been Asda. Howerver I notice SusanMcT has the same lamp in her pictures too so maybe she might be able to help

Hi we got one 'similar style' at Ikea..£2.75.. the shade has a top to it but the lamp reverses and bottom goes into shade for traveling... so only size of shade for packing... just take the bulb out and put inside shade and you are done...
