Escape to the country

Hey lovelies,
My infection seems to have finally left the building (or rather body!) Hip Hop Hooray!
There's lots of scary, stressful things happening this week so we decided to escape this weekend and just be.
We pitched our little tent of blueness in a tiny campsite behind a pub in Shropshire. Can you see the beautiful showman's caravan behind the tent? There were a handful caravans and us, the brave ones in a tent. Bliss.
Our first night we decided to have tea in the pub as we were hungry and tired from the journey and all that tent pegging. After being repeatedly told by the landlord that we'd been there before (we hadn't) he finally agreed to let us have some food...I had chips...they don't serve vegetarians unless they've had prior warning! Brilliant!
The sky was just so clear on our first night, it was impossible to even begin to try to count the stars. So bright and beautiful.
I have to admit I was cold the first night (two hot water bottles and a northerner was clearly not enough) but there isn't a better feeling in the world than waking up under the trees with your loved one on a slightly squishy airbed.
Here's to a lifetime of camping with my Mr Lardshow hopefully in our very own campervan.

  2. Thank you my lovely! Where did you visit in the UK? We are blessed here, 5 minutes in the car and you're in the middle of the most beautiful, peaceful countryside. We try to make the most of it whenever we can. X
