We have had a great weekend at the Woodland yurts......me, Steve, Paula and her grandson Aiden.
The weather was perfect, apart from packing up this morning....(we had to do it in the rain.)
We have made campfires, cooked outdoors, entertained, foraged for blackberries, sloes and wood, made bows and arrows, carved knives, made homes for toy mice and harvested from Freshwinds Garden. We`ve sung camping songs with Jamie on his ukelele, had rides in wheelbarrows, blown bubbles, played football and snuggled up in blankets round the campfire.
On Saturday, everyone came for a barbeque. There were 12 family members.
Quite a lot to cook for outdoors, but we managed with lots of help.
There were chocolate owl cupcakes.
On Sunday we went to the garden to harvest our evening meal. It was a beautiful clear September day with very blue skies and big fluffy clouds.
There was one plum left on the tree and it had been "got at" presumably by wasps.
I had to pick more apples as two branches had broken due to the weight of the fruit.
The combine harvester was having a well-earned rest.
And there were plenty of sparrows around which will please Clifford.
Now we are home washing our smoky clothes, enjoying running hot water and electricity.
I love the outdoor life but I also love my home and its comforts.
