Glowing Embers and Glowsticks

We love to see the garden at different times of the day and yurting gives us that opportunity ..... as the sun rises, as the sun goes down and even in the dark, when the scarecrows take on a different persona!!!! Actually it is quite scary when they suddenly appear in torchlight. 

The Owl yurt is our favourite and we have had some very happy family times there. This time was no different.

A blazing campfire was soon lit, with the children honing their fire-lighting skills, closely supervised by Paula.

We barbequed our dinners here ....burgers, sausages, chicken (butterflied) and lamb. Most of our meat came from Sarah Whiteman at The Old Butchers Shop, Pett. 

Highly recommended.

And if you can`t face cooking on the open fire, there is a lovely camp kitchen.

(On Saturday evening we did all retreat to Paula`s house as it was windy and wet.)

The glowing fire is the focus of our time, keeping it fed, getting more logs, finding kindling, toasting marshmallows.

At all times we have water nearby.

Then there are trips to the garden for veggies and fruit.

 

A rest in the barn lounge for icecreams and table tennis.

 

A long walk to the Royal Oak through the woods and fields for a welcome drink ....

 

.... and back to the yurt for platters of sandwiches.

What more could you ask for!

What a truly great setting Freshwinds Camping is. Many campers have said so, when we have had chats in the garden. Many return time after time. Some have been coming for years.

 

Harvesting continues.

 

 

Flowers are in abundance including precious sweetpeas.

 

And glowsticks are the crowning glory.
