Fee's World

It’s 2am. It’s cold. Thing 2 is stirring, threatening to poo. Did I mention it’s cold?

However, here is a little of how our evening went in pictures.

Car packed, roof full, kids in. Good times

Arrive at the lovely campsite in Farleigh Wallop, a place we haven’t even driven past in 16 years since we lived here. Tent out and pegged down, it’s windy!

Impressive tent pegs

What a difference two years makes, Thing 1 was previously only playing at helping, I have pictures of him in this pose from about 11 months old, copying Daddy, but he was actually properly helping this time. Though time was ticking on, we were all getting hungry…

The center pole going up, can you tell what it is yet?

I should say at this point, it was bloody windy. It was bloody windy and we for away about an hour later than planned. And the glorious sunshine has fine behind a sky full of clouds.

Thing 2 and I were mostly chilling out in the car, me constantly admiring her beautiful new hair cut. I mean, how could you not?

What a beauty

Back to what was happening outside.

More pegging down!

Putting the inner compartment in, ie our mammoth bedroom.

For those who haven’t guessed it, or haven’t a clue what it is, our new tent is a 6m bell tent from Boutique Camping. Several friends have Bells, we appear to have joined a bit of a cult.

We are out of the car and in the tent. It’s lovely and warm.

There’s so much space! Very pleased we listened to friends and went for the bigger one.

Good job too, did I mention the triple height twin Queen size airbed combo?

It’s late, we need a fire to make food, bunting can wait till tomorrow, but we are in.

It’s a beautiful location, this is Inwood camping, we decided to camp in the big field rather than in the woods, but behind me is the woods, including a great little composting loo. We even saw a deer on the way in.

Grubs up!

No good having a fire without marshmallows #smores

Obligatory selfie by the fire

The Manor house up the road, Farleigh House, who used to be our landlords, are having a garden fair tomorrow, think we might go there for lunch. Before that, the boys are in the morning doing an intro to bushcraft activity here in the woods!

Now 3am, I’ve had a pee in a bucket during the writing of this and Thing 2 is still stirring on and off. And she now has cooks hands because she refused to let me cover them with a blanket unless she’s absolutely sound asleep. Mittens in bed for her tomorrow!
