So I have been browsing the camping forum whilst thinking wistfully of taking the two very small people to a eurocamp type affair in Brittany next year (when small people are slightly less small) and so far have bought:
A 5metre zig soulpad, with coir carpet, rugs, two teir tea light chandelier, solar powered fairy lights, bunting, posh beds and bedding, one of those A frame cooking things with stock pot, 4 Indian tables, three dry stone dyke style windbreaks and large tarpaulin.
A collapsible washing up bowl. Wtf?
Various other accessories including camping appropriate clothing for all of us, for all possible weathers.
An estate car and roof box.
A new house with garden big enough to make use of tent when not away, and to dry it out.
I have also booked us in to several local(ish) campsites for weekends throughout this 'summer' and have organised ferry crossings for a three week trip to Europe next year and an exhaustive list of fine campsites which will be suitable for our nomadic road trip plans.
Have sadly had to acknowledge that we will probably have to dispose of one of the children to have any hope of achieving any of this. Yet to make final decision on which one. Changes daily.
I suppose a lotto ticket might be slightly less radical (although less achievable)
Damn you mumsnet!!!
