The joys of camping are many, and we were blessed with fine weather and fun this weekend. Even so, it’s good to be back to home comforts: a shower, electricity, a proper bed.
It’s been a great couple of days though.
I’ve met up with old friends, made some new ones and put my vote in for a repeat next year.
Lydia might even be able to join us by then. We’ll see. For now I’m just looking forward to seeing her tomorrow, and we’ll keep doing what we do, day by day, step by step.
I took Lydia to the boarding kennels again this morning, for a three-night stay. It’s the first time she’s been back so soon after her last stay, but this weekend Trev and I are going camping.
We took Lydia camping not long after we first got her, and she was very anxious about it all. She did very well on the whole, sleeping between us in the tent, and I put up windbreaker screens so that she had some space just outside where she couldn’t see other dogs. We also camped as far away from other people as possible. Even so, I had to take her out in the car for her to do her ‘poopie’ and overall it wasn’t the best experience for any of us. So, this weekend, she’s back with her friends at the kennels and we’re meeting up with friends in a field.
I thought my camping days were over, not feeling inspired or enthused as I used to feel at the prospect of sleeping in a tent. However, we received an invitation from friends to join them and others for a gathering this weekend, and it should be a good one.
We’ve got plenty of essential supplies: wine, beer, whisky and gin. We’re all chipping in for a barbecue on Saturday night and our remit was to bring sauces. So, I bought ketchup, brown, salad cream, mayo, various types of barbecue sauce, some relish and some hot. I hope I’ve catered for all tastes.
I’m pretty sure there’s going to be a campfire, singing and hopefully lots of laughing. I think it’s going to be a very good weekend.
Glad About
