Happy (Mad) Campers :)




After Spring Harvest we moved a few miles west and ended up at Cloud Farm which I had read about for quite some time. It was a fab site, real campfires, a cafe with delicious cream teas on offer (it would be rude not to try one) and also a takeaway or eat-in service in the evening which we made use of and decided not to cook as it was a bit cold, damp and windy. 


The new bell tent was great, we loved it. The surroundings were very beautiful but...we didn't have a thick enough/big enough mattress so we were achy and uncomfortable. I bought the Bill Brown stripey double mattress from Bell Tents UK but really you need more, especially if a small girl won't stay in her bed and ends up in the middle sprawled out. It was a good try out though. Next time we will take a trailer and put the wide mattress in which will be perfect...we can't do with creaky joints and back ache at our age!
