The weather we are having at the moment has made me look forward to rather than dread our annual camping trip next week. I am not particularly stoic when it comes to roughing it and am rather of the opinion that a holiday ought to include a few home comforts along the way. I know, life doesn't depend on them etc etc .However I take one look at the enjoyment spread all over my kids faces and I have to man up and get on with it!
On the positive side we do now have a tent that can be seen from outer space and have collected a lot of useful gadgets over the years that ease the job quite considerably. I do quite enjoy sleeping under canvas and eating outdoors so this year I am going to be firm on the OCD elements that stop me from relaxing and follow these rules:
1. Take plenty of alcohol.
2. Don't take chocolate ( it melts and tastes foul and then you sulk for hours)
3. Take tins of food from M and S and just boil rice or pasta to go with them.
4. Take dry shampoo and hairbands and forget about hair.
4. Take a good tinted moisturiser, lip tint and mascara and go minimal!
5. Take water pistols and spend time with the kids.
Wish me luck!!
