Wish the journos had never dreamed the word up, to be honest.

I agree. It's terribly "Them & Us", isn't it?




Trouble is I can't work out if I'm "us" or "them"

I am very confused about my camping status now! I have a folding camper (ehu, pumped cold water, microwave, 2 way fridge, stove and grill) for health reasons, but my heart resides in my coleman 9 berth dome tent. What does my use of EHU for laptop, tv, dvd player, playstation and of course mobile phone charging make me? I don't have a hairdrier or straighteners, but i don't use those at home either. The bedding matches and since purchasing the FC I have been on a bit of a spending spree purchasing suitably retro items to adorn my 1986 model - matching gaydon melaware sets etc! I have always used real cutlery and even have a parmesan grater amongst the kitchen equipment in my camper. Bunting and fairy lights are highly appealing (omg I can't believe i typed that!) Of course, I am a single mum with a full time career who has to put it all up with only a little assistance from my 9 year old daughter. The greyhounds of course don't even watch, they just sleep!

Not that i care much, like most of us, I do the camping I enjoy and love living in a field my way!

...recylde tweed indeed!

I think that's possibly the essence of 'glamping' imho. I'm a comfy camper but not a glamper - despite my penchant for nightlights and vinyl tablecoths..

Camping - emotional resilience in action, a triumph of hope over adversity and antidote to virtual reality.
