Right you lot ! I'm back and just in the nick of time by the look of things. !! What on earth have you all been up to you bad bad pebblets.
Dear oh dear you will all have to walk the plank now - except bean as she had a prior arrangement on board ship.
Well I did stick to plan until the last day on the way home I had a McDonald's treat.
Here's how it went.
Saturday
Up at 5am getting ready and packing up the car .
Extra easy day
Breakfast - a milky coffee (hea)
Set out on the road with 4 very excited children in tow and a hell of a lot of baggage/ tents/ food/ beds etc
1330 - arrived on site in Peterborough and began setting up camp
6 man tent for me , other half and the 2 little ones, small 2 man blue tent just behind, then the kitchen gazebo, then our friends tent the orange one.
Lunch - cheese low low (1/2 a) & salad cream (2) sandwich (1b ) Ww choc biscuit (4.5).
Snack - wisps crisps (5) satsuma
Had a little wander around, looking at the trucks and stalls
Dinner - pasta, bolognese, cheese (1/2 a) Madeleine cake and custard (5)
It started getting cold and then colder and then colder and then it was just flipping freezing and we all climbed into our tents.
I was absolutely freezing and lie there shivering all night . I had 2 t shirts, pyjamas, a duvet, 2 thin blankets, the other half to share body heat but still we were frozen. Hardly slept due to the cold. Then at 2am my little one came in freezing, then one by one all the kids climbed in our tent. So that was us up and awake. At 5am we sat in the sunrise hoping it would defrost us. We all sat eating instant porridge and drinking tea.
