It was hearing moles burrowing underneath the groundsheet of our frame tent that made us decide to get a trailer tent!

Just been thinking..our trailer tent didn't have an oven as I said previously - it just had a hob and grill and the fridge was underneath that. We gave up camping as Mr.J wanted to go sailing instead, and our boat does have an oven, so that's what I was thinking of.

I used to feel embarrassed walking back though the campsite with soaking wet hair after having a shower and washing my hair, though there were hairdryers provided at some campsites! Still have to do that at marinas unless I wash my hair on our boat.

Well Skeggy Was good, bit windy the first day and it rained at night but affter that is was lovely. Last day was really hot. I have just been unbanned on CQ aswell Thanks Lorraine.
