We have arranged for my sister to have our son this weekend so we can have some us time. We are going camping and everyone I tell thinks we are mad apparently we should be in a hotel at presumably several times the cost. At least I know my bed is comfy and we get to test out the bounce of a megamat
If you did not enjoy the reaction of the non campers you would not react to it yourself. It's a bit like me enjoying the reaction of non naturists to a pastime I regard as entirely normal & more sensible than textile camping.
Well we're off this weekend too for a last jolly. Bodfan farm Rhosneigr. Got EHU, extra blankets, thick pyjamas. Main concern is drying out the camplet canvas but hey...no pain no gain and its still only September.

I know you guys will understand
Oh yeah... we understand alright!
First off, you're dumping laddo off with your sister. I bet it was only 30 years ago you couldn't stand each other and were constantly squabbling. Now all of a sudden she's your best mate and apparently capable of looking after your most prized possession!
Then of course, there's the smutty innuendo, not to mention the suggestion of the act itself... in a tent... on a campsite... with neighbours! The mind boggles!
And finally, the lies... ok, they haven't started yet, but knowing what I know about camping without children, it's a given that this weekend will go so fantastically well, that it will soon be "sorry son, they only have availability on the adult only field. You'll have to stay at aunties... again"! Poor lad. Before you know it, he'll be wandering the streets of the metropolis with the soles of his crocs hanging off, nicking gentlemens hankerchiefs in the hope of making a farthing or two in order to eat!
"Mad"? "Bad" more like!
I just hope you can live with yourselves come Monday, when your whole world turns upside down!
Shameful... truly shameful!
We're off to the Galloway again tomorrow for a couple of nights non-EHU. Love an autumn camp!
------------- MAY 2017 - Loch Ken, Scotland
JUNE 2017 - Sango Sands, Durness, Scotland
AUGUST 2017 - Balloch O Dee, Galloway and Invergarry
SEPTEMBER 2017 - three brief trips
OCTOBER 2017 - hopefully one final trip before Halloween
If the weather doesn't play ball, although it might depending on which bit you're off to, it will give you all the more reason to quality control your Megamat
Have a great weekend.
------------- Camping - emotional resilience in action, a triumph of hope over adversity and antidote to virtual reality.
Just realised I didn't come and update this. We had a wonderful time, although we did get soaked when walking on the beach, rain not sea.
My sister and her husband said our son was delightful and they will have him any time
Our son said he would like to stay with them again but not for a little while He wanted to come home on Sunday morning but couldn't as we were looking at Karstens
All in all it was a brill weekend, not cold at all just a bit wet
A day of all things motorhome and campervan. The show is held both in the main indoor arena and across the grounds. Catering, hot drinks and food options are available. Easy access to the site and free parking included. Win one of five pairs of day tickets
