hmmmmmm awning confessions ok our has..... (please note this depends if it is the small weekend one or the full one)

Jack the dogs kit box with millions of towels and food and a lead

Table

Chairs

Cool box

Stack a boxes with shoes in.

Wellies

Step son

Human towels over the backs of chairs drying

Bin

Buckets (including hubbys fire bucket that he loves to death but as of yet has not yet put anything in it including water!)

Usually anything else that hasn't found a home!

Our awning is a pushchair park, drying room for wet kit, and a space where we can sit and eat, if we cannot be bothered to put the bed away...

It sometimes has the cool box out there, if we need more room than the fridge affords us.

It also ends up full of awning bags, and other bits and pieces.

We haven't got one.

But if we deploy the roll out Omnistore sun canopy then under it would be me the misses, two dogs, beer & wine, and possibly our small green camping table if food is imminent.

Ours has two tables (one for the microwave), chairs, plasic box which usuallly has crisps, and tins of food in it, rubbish bin, caravan step, shoes, cans of lager, nephews buggy (cos we usually take him with us), and his toys that he takes with him.

I love my awning, its a bit of a hangover from my festival going days and its one of my favourite places to be. In fact if I am having trouble sleeping or trying to meditate, I often imagine myself sitting in my awning on a summers evening. I love that feeling whenit just starts to get cool and you change from shorts to long trousies.

Sadly, said haven of peace and tranquility is in bits in the back of the car after a hurried demontage during the gales last weekend - we were lucky, quite a few lost awnings completely!

It will be back up weekend after next and will be installed with the following fixtures and fittings

Confession time - I have a string with half a dozen Indian bells hung above the door - makes a noise if anybody comes in unannounced and also gives a nice "Zen" tinkle in the breeze.

Floor covering is a tarp which is covered with rag rugs from Ikea, loosely clipped together they are great underfoot and each one can be taken out and washed or rotated if needs be

Cadac barbie - as yet unused.

Collapsible tressle table that I am in the process of sinking a two burner leccy hob into

Bean bags

Half built table made from two formula one tyres and some ply ;-)

Couple of sheepskins hanging to put over when it gets chilly at night and I want "just one last nip of that single malt before I turn in"

In the process of making some new curtains with an "Om" pattern on them - each to their own but I aint keen on the standard offerings from the likes of Doreema etc.

I think I want to come spend time in your awning,  Sounds very soothing and all hippy/flower-powery.
