more camping!

The first ice cream!! A very long cone but super yummy, I really want another now!

The toasting device came in very useful (my mum tried to persuade me NOT to get it, she wanted me to go waffle-less!!)

The fantastic little sandcastle mould, it kept me occupied for aaaaaages!! I even made a little empire, as you can see in the picture below!!
Yorkie tried to make a sandcastle with our brand new HUGE bucket and he broke the bucket - first sandcastle, it was sad times!!

Camping!

So here it is - tent all set up (in the wind!!) It lasted all 4 nights - one of torrential rain and I think gale force winds(ok it sounded like it but probably wasn't that bad)

The view from the tent - yes sea views - very lovely!!

The bunting!! loved the bunting - and the blanket, don't think I got a picture of the blanket - Yorkies half of the airbed was always too messy - but I will check and post if I do. It was ace, made the tent more homey!!
The first cooked breakfast and it was yummy times!!!

The night before ......

Tapas for tea! I forgot to take a picture before I started munching!! So instead it is half way through the meal!! It was super yummy and after we ate it we went off to the pub to watch the second half of the football! It wasn't very entertaining!!

This is a few pictures from country living magazine. I was flicking through (lovely magazine but far too expensive for me to ever buy!) and I saw this page - it was perfect - first of all bunting and any of you that follow my blog know that I like a bit of bunting!! Then a picnic hamper - also quite a few picnic related posts!! Finally enamel plates and mugs exactly like the ones I have just got ready for the camping trip!! I am very tempted to set up a little picture like this in my own garden!

It is now 11.10pm and we have just finished packing - it has taken so long because Yorkie thought it wise to bring 30+ pairs of pants, 25 t-shirts, hundreds of socks, work shirts ((why do you need work shirts camping??) 5 pairs of shorts, 3 pairs of football shorts and much more - so needless to say we spent a lot of time sorting through all of that!!

York times

Here is a sneaky peek of the york bedroom!!! Its not 100% finished yet but is getting there - I really want to make some bunting but I'm not sure if it will work in this room - will have to make it work! Below is the fantastic ikea stickers going up the stairs!! I love love love love them!

Here, as promised is a few pictures of Roger - he was all snuffly this weekend, he has cat flu.

So I went to York on the weekend. Arrived on friday night and we went for a spin in the new car, accidentally stopping off at the chinese - oops! Saturday we went to a BBQ, super yummy food times, and watched the football - oh dear, less said about that the better I think.

Then Sunday we wandered about York, I really need to win the lottery - there is so many wonderful shops full to the brim of little things that you never knew you needed! I managed to resist buying anything this visit but I don't think I can be so strong again!! I did however buy a few camping items ready for our camping trip - I am super duper excited, just cant wait!
