After 12 years I have finally persuaded DH to go camping this summer. I used to go as a child, hence for me the nostalgia factor is strong. Plus I like nature and the outdoors in general. DH on the other hand enjoys his creature comforts and would rather be sitting in Costa Coffee than in a blustery field any day.
He does have a big sense of fun though, and loves lazing round and spending time with the kids. He isn't too attached to his electronic gear or the TV and is in his element whiling away an evening reading and drinking wine.
On the other hand, he is quite skinny and really feels the cold!
I am really hoping he will enjoy it this summer, and that it will lead to lots more camping in years to come esp in France.
So - any tips on how to introduce him to it gently?? I am thinking that we should invest in a nice big tent that's not too difficult to put up, and a really comfy airbed. How do I keep him warm though?
Can anyone help me with any other ideas please? thank you!
