Pip, Laurie and I spent our last free weekend before we’re in the drop-zone by going camping as a family of three for the last time. As it was the Tilmanstone Church Fete that weekend we camped outside Folkestone, and my Mum & Dad came in their motor-home as well.
We had a very English weekend – here’s our checklist!
- Sitting in a tent in the rain
- Scampi and chips in a pub
- Sandy beach and sandcastles in the sun
- Half a mile of thick mud between the end of the sand and the start of the sea
- Church fete
- Live jazz
- Punch and Judy
- Losing at tug o’ war
- Barbecuing after the weather’s gone cold
- Rowing boats
- Blackberry picking (from rowing boats, extra points)
- A picnic
- A steam train ride
- A miniature railway ride
- A miniature steam train ride (extra points)
- Climbing a lighthouse
- A shingle beach in the drizzle
- A cream tea on top of the White Cliffs of Dover, overlooking France.
