Well the long weekend is over… Everyone here is tired and ready for bed, well except Miss B of course.  We’ve already spent an hour and a half trying to get her to stay in bed… So I need a minute just to sit for a little bit before the post-camping clean up commences!

We have had such a fabulous weekend.  Last night the temperature dropped drastically, so we spent the evening sitting around under blankets and talking the kind of rubbish that inevitably occurs after a few drinks.  A couple of sore heads again this morning, but surprisingly, despite polishing off a fabulous bottle of red wine, I woke up feeling great!

The pack down after any camping trip is always long and tiring, and today was no different but with no check out time to rush us, we enjoyed our pancakes and bacon breakfast and pottered around packing up and getting things organised to come home. We had a really great site and the set up of our camper trailer and Mr & Mrs P’s tent was great.

But now I am tired and no long out of bed so in honour of the 26th of January, I’ve given you my top 26 highlights of our weekend!

2. Gorgeous chubby bubbas

We all had so much fun we’ve decided that we might look at doing it all again next year, although hopefully it’s not as cold next time!
