Having a 5 month old and not being a natural camper i wimped out and only went for one night but my husband and Sam got there Friday afternoon, thus also enabling me to get out of the usual nightmare that is putting up the tent. Instead Ava and I stayed at home with a bottle of wine and a comfy bed! On Saturday said husband came back to get us and drove us to the campsite (along with another car full of paraphanalia). It was a lovely sunny day and we spent the afternoon chilling by the tent (I even had time to read some of my new book whilst drinking Pimms - a treat!) Sam had a ball playing with the other children, the site has a great climbing frame and a zip wire which kept them amused for hours.
In the evening we were treated to an amazing array of food on the barbecue finished off with some marshmallows toasted on the campfire. By 10pm Sam decided he wanted to go to bed and Ava was falling asleep in the carrycot so we took them back to the tent and I decided to go to bed with Ava too. It was cold but not as cold as I had feared and amazingly Ava slept until 5am - I have decided I need to put her in the tent at night from now on.......
Sunday morning started with a nice hot shower, some danish pastries and a lovely cup of tea (thanks Paul!) The weather was great but soon the nice bright sunshine turned to very hot sunshine and at that point i decided it was time to head home with the baby so we packed as much as we could into the car and my husband drove us home (only to have to go back and dismantle the tent and bring everything else back later)
Looking forward to Sunstock 2012 already!
