Date in the diary…
I am going to try to write this post without mentioning what it involves. Mysterious huh? Not really. It hardly takes a genius to work out what I’m talking about.
A certain event that is taking place on the 29th April 2011 has caused upset at my work place. To close shop or not to close shop. To work or not work. I’m not going to go into it, but it does surprise me how lack of communication can really cause such a mess?! Well, I’m not working. Not so I can watch the said event on the telly, but to get as far away as possible from the bunting & union jacks. No offence, but I’d rather chew off my own arm. Bah humbug.
There are two things in the diary on that date. Firstly, my lovely friend’s birthday who’s coming to see us this weekend. Hooray! Secondly, our camping trip. Bring. It. On. I really need a camping fix. Normally I have Glastonbury Festival to look forward to but alas, the ticket fairy was not looking down on us this year (sobs into mug of tea). There will be camp fires, marshmallows, long walks, hearty pub dinners and bottles of wine. I might even pop up some (non Union Jack) bunting. I can guarantee by the end of the night, I will be shouting Withnail & I quotes as soon as the third mug of wine is drunk.
I think we may invest in a camp stove or bucket. I want to barbeque some Corn on the Cobs and chomp away like no tomorrow! I’ve no idea why perusing camping websites is as exciting as buying shoes, but it is (trust me). Comes with turning 31 I guess…
Here’s a few bits and bobs to make any camping trip fun:
Can you smell the bonfire yet?

HA!! at long last I come across ONE person who shares my views on the “mysterious” event on 29th April… so refreshing! You’re nearly selling camping to me, particularly with those Jane Beck blankets and the vino by the fire… BLISS!

Do it! Camping is good for the soul. Minus the spiders and all that…: D

Ah love this post. I’m determined to do more camping this year and not wimp out at the last minute like I usually do. We should go in August when it’s (hopefully) warm – have you been to Hawkshead before? Like the BBQ bucket btw – very beachy 🙂

Hoorah, someone else who shares my lack of bother about ‘the event’! Loving all the camping paraphernalia, it’s tempting me, especially as the weather is being so glorious!
