Camping trip

The camping trip to Devon last weekend was a big success. Jim and Lisa and the kids made a big effort to come over from the Isle of Man and we all travelled down together . . . putting their 10 man tent up in the rain was a bit of a challenge!! Mark and the kids arrived later with their quick and easy pop up tents.. . Gareth arrived on the train and Rick and liz appeared the next morning after a terrible journey. They had a great gazebo and lots of tables and a fridge with them and we set up a little gathering area near their campervan. Cathy and Rhosyn arrived that evening.. . which meant that everyone had made it.
There was a campfire and solar fairy lights. Lots of laughter. Tunes on the guitar. Eggs, beans and pasta. Cricket and dips in the icy river. Hot chocolate.
We left the campsite on the sunday to try and get to a beach. . we finally made it to Putsborough Sands after some tricky driving down very narrow country lanes.. . and then enjoyed a BBQ before we packed up our tent and headed home.
Everyone made a real effort to get to Cloud Farm and it was a memorable weekend. I hope we can do it again sometime soon x
