Last Monday night, knowing Tuesday was going to be so hot felt like the perfect night to camp in the garden. As i have never really camped before ( apart from once with the guides)i wanted to see if i liked it.
The kids were really surprised when i picked them up from school and told them what we were doing. I wouldn't normally do something like this on a school night but it was the last few days of school and with all the galas at weekend we never get the chance
Sat outside when its really warm with a cup of tea and my crochet was bliss
We got up super early and had tea and toast, which i made in the kitchen.
So is camping for me? No not really! I love setting the tent up and cooking on the camping stove , sat round playing and talking to the kids and crocheting, but as for sleeping in the tent i felt really vulnerable and a bit claustrophobic and i was jumping at every noise, think i got about 2 hours sleep!
But the kids loved it, so really i will have to live with it and go camping and we plan on going sometime over the next couple of weeks, if the weather is ok x

ReplyDeleteCamping is great. The fisrt night is always the hardest because it's different and you do hear everything (including snorersand trumpers somewhere in the field) and of course it's not your own bed but by the second night you are so tired you do sleep a bit better. Try sleeping with your head at the zip end I find that less claustrophobic. I sometimes have the zip open a little bit at the bottom so I can feel a little draft on my face and find that helps too.
ReplyDeleteThe kids will absolutley love a camping trip. Try a weekend before going for a week to somewhere not too far away.
