Camping with a family of 5


So we didn't get on too badly! We spent 4 nights at Baha'i Summer School in Berkshire in our 4 man tent. OK so we wimped out and came home a day early rather than 'enjoy' a fifth night, but all-in-all I'm quite proud of us.

Somewhere amongst those blankets and sleeping bags are 2 little children. The baby slept most of the night in his pushchair and then joined us on a blow-up mattress. Mark and I attempted to share a double sleeping bag, but found that it was really a device for binding you to another person so that if they roll over in the night you are dragged around with them. Not so useful when you have to reach over in the dark to pass bottles of milk to various grizzling children.

The children absolutely loved the experience and even we were reasonably chipper. We're planning to go away again over the bank holiday weekend and enjoy some more of the delights of Devon.
