Camping is Definiately Good For The Soul

Hi

Well as you can see from the title I've been away for a few days camping. Popped down to the New Forest and had a lovely time, all the talk of wet weather was nowhere to be seen and I came back looking like a lobster. (It's an English rose thing!).

It was great, there is something about being outdoors, having breakfast, enjoying the view. The campsite was fab and smack bang in the forest so walks in every direction and a pub 10 minutes down the road. Having not been camping since a girl guide, and camping didn't hold that many good memories, I invested in a half price tent and packed the dog, the tent and the partner into the car and off we went.

Tents are much much easier to put up and come with inner tent and ground sheet attached. No need to build racks out of mismatching sticks and a piece of string to keep your bags off the floor in 2009 and no need to make a sink for washing up, they had them already there.........lovely.

Being used to 5 star luxury and a bit of a snob I am looking forward to my next camping adventure. There was no computer, no phone signal and no telly, bed by 10 and up by 8 how fab is that.

So I'm back to normal life fully refreshed and up for the challenge. Off to Paris for lunch tomorrow........how decadent is that!
