But I tried it last year and was absolutley hooked...I really can't explain it I just loved no telly, cooking on those blasted stoves, kids cooking our breakfast in the morning, and just the fresh air!! We treated ourselves to a super new tent this year and tried it out in half term.....Just fab :)mum in meltdownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16460316200342594004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682245786064531273.post-2573358857783394742011-06-28T09:05:58.145+01:002011-06-28T09:05:58.145+01:00LOL i went to the V festival and after four years ...LOL i went to the V festival and after four years of going we did decide one year it was too wet and camped out at a hotel - it was my most glamourous festival! <br />My youngest is just a year now and we're hoping thats old enough to go camping.

I can't wait until Lucy's a bit bigger so we cam take her camping too!emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17495065607244263147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682245786064531273.post-82127332147029748702011-06-28T00:11:37.965+01:002011-06-28T00:11:37.965+01:00I'm in no way, shape or form a camper, and not...I'm in no way, shape or form a camper, and not even sure about the glamping.... Last festival I went to was V (does that even count?) and me and the girls stayed at the local uni halls.... and that was us slumming it! Need my ghd's too much, pathetic I know!

I am a big fan of my creature comforts but am sure we will survive in our family tent for a weekend and save the money for a real luxury. Campsites have really got their acts together and we have stayed on some lovely ones in the Peaks and Yorkshire - perfect for preschool boys! xxxmygorgeousboyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07508966203696528323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682245786064531273.post-66667169806864830992011-06-27T17:49:07.349+01:002011-06-27T17:49:07.349+01:00LOL Werent they just!

We have two preschool boys who adore the outside but I have toa dmit I do like my home comforts but you can do pretty well these days - take along showers and some of the blow up beds are amazing> I think you can go a fair way on spending on luxury items before I spend THAT much!Bakes, Books & My Boyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10164351317791848516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-682245786064531273.post-57710960083004887802011-06-27T17:46:18.101+01:002011-06-27T17:46:18.101+01:00I'm NOT a fan of camping, glamping or any form...I'm NOT a fan of camping, glamping or any form of holidaying in something which doesn't have en-suites or room service.<br />But fear having two pre-school boys, and a husband who loves the great outdoors, it won't be long before I'm bullied into freezing my ass off in a sleeping bag on the ground, being woken by the birds tweeting and people burning sausages on barbecues.<br />But seriously, if you had £650 to spend on a break, why wouldn't you book into a comfortable hotel?<br />By the way, how chavvy were the Rooney's, arriving at Glasto in designer wellies, via a helicopter?
