Water, water, everywhere. . .

Last week on a wet Friday, we packed up the car to go camping. The weather couldn't put us off because we had arranged to meet up with family in the Lakes. 


We managed to put up the tent and settle in whilst the weather was fine.
(we even put up bunting and fairy lights)


But Saturday was wet, wet, wet! We headed over to Barrow Dock Museum

 

 Spending time with family is great, we only had 13 in our group this time (along with four dogs). Number 14 is on placement from Uni at a Hospital for children. We really missed her !!


We did quite a bit of walking, mainly down to the lake.


We also did some 'playing with fire'. (We did supervise!!)


We also visited Ambleside and had a walk into Coniston.


We had visitors to our camp, a small group of goats. One goat is quite manageable but when the flock arrives my daughter had to use a folding chair to persuade them away!! Watching them around the camp was pretty funny, many unsuspecting campers had goats in there tents.

  1. That made me smile, goats in the tent although I am sure it is not something to laugh at whilst its happening. Looks like a great trip.

    1. 'Goats in someone else's tent' is really fun to watch, keeping them away from your own tent isn't quite as funny!!! But the kids loved it and they where really friendly goats. Sarah

    1. Wish you had been there. Although the catering tent wasn't as good, seems to have gone for 'diet' type foods. Sarah xx

  3. Surely tents + bunting + fairy lights = glamping, not camping? It looks like fun!!

    1. I think it probably is glamping!! It did look lovely when all the lights came on! Sarah
