Should I Take Wellies?

This afternoon we will pack up the car and head off down the A1 to Yorkshire to start our new adventure - camping!

Yes, I know that Sundays forecast is pretty grim, heavy rain and thunderstorms, but today and tomorrow are suppose to be scorchers, and you know what English weather is like, totally unreliable. So I'm ignoring the fact that we may have to bail out the tent, pack it up in pouring rain and then find somewhere big enough to dry it out once home again. But that's camping eh?

Hubby is at work until lunchtime and Little Dude will go to the childminders so he's out of the way while I get things sorted and packed up. There is nothing that stresses me out more than a 7 year old helper, unhelpfully moving things that have been put somewhere on purpose.

Big Dude was at a barbeque last night and stayed over but has instructions be home early so I can give him his list of 'to do's' and 'to don'ts' while we are away. Like remembering to get up early and let the dogs out for a wee!

Then I will have my usual strop about being rushed out the door before having time to check we have everything. I can't help it. I have to check my list because if anything gets left behind it will undoubtedly be MY fault.

Now, is there anything else I need?

Bottle opener - check,

cool box - check,

beer - check,

England flags on car ('cos it's nearly World Cup time and we do stupid things like that!) - check

There we are, ready to rumble............see you soon.................
