I wouldn't relish the prospect with one quite so dependant as smiler though... i am imnpressed with a 6 berth motorhome though.<BR/>I had a VW series two when I was in my thirties... unfortunately a mobile bed led me in to no end of trouble....<BR/><BR/>lesley - wonderful for conveying strong emotion of any type. FDo you remember the Spitting Image puppet?<BR/><BR/>bufalodickdy - a lot of people here blame the end of natioanl service (a compulsory period in the service of her majestys armed forces) for these ills.<BR/>I blame the teachers.<BR/><BR/>john.g. - I know, you are quite right of course. I should have given him his mothers sleeping bag. Bet your arse it wouldn't happen again then!<BR/><BR/>rivergirlie - no groundsheet. Nasty.<BR/><BR/>me - Indeed we didn't drown despite a very wet Friday in particular. <BR/>I think kids stop becoming quite so dependant just before you start dribbling and having little accidents....<BR/><BR/>sabloneusse - no I don't think that motorhoming is cheating. I sometimes consider selling up and doing that for the next ten years.<BR/><BR/>And to all looking in from time to time looking for me. Sorry, I have been travelling. Right, thats it my parking time is up!

On the other hand, knowing teenagers . . .<BR/>Still, I'd be pretty hopeless at camping.

The last time I went to Glastonbury festival was when I was 6 weeks pregnant with Rosie, who is 18 in January! It was just starting to get a bit too commercialised by this time. Our holiday this year was going to be camping in Cornwall but luckily K has just bought a 6-sleeper motorhome....in the nick of time. We are going in a couple of weeks and the thought of camping with the kids (especially Smiler, not quite walking yet) was not doing my stress levels any good!...So I admit to being past my camping days and am now part of the old fogey camper-van crew. I prepare myself for plenty of piss-taking, especially from the likes of John G!<BR/>I hope The Boy has survived your trip without too much trauma and am glad to hear you enjoyed the music.:)headless chickenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125415670387276535noreply@blogger.com
