Top ten essentails for camping at a festival

July 26, 2017

After our first family camping trip of the year a few weeks ago, we’re all eager to go again. I just wish I could drive so we could go more often – we’re dependant on lifts as our tent plus all we need is not easy to manage on a train/bus! Still – we have...

Camp Bestival – part one

August 8, 2013

It’s crazy to think that it’s a whole week since we arrived at Camp Bestival already! We left home in the middle of the night, thinking that the kiddos would sleep most of the drive. Well, holiday excitement proved to be to much to sleep! A 5am stop just outside of Bristol for a wee...
