A camping weekend

I cannot believe the weather we've been having over the past few days! Is this really England? It's been 25 degrees and sunny, which made for an absolutely glorious weekend. Lee and I travelled down to North Devon with two other couples (and one couple's 8-month-old) for a camping weekend. We were finally able to put a few of our wedding gifts (a tent, some camping gear, and sleeping bags) to good use!

The view from the campsite:



After setting up our tents we headed down to the little village,



and stopped in here,



for quite a few of these bad boys.



As it was still school holidays, the campsite was pretty full.



The next morning, Becky whipped us up a hearty meal of bacon and eggs.



I was on tea-making duty (very important!). It was rather windy so I had to sit in our tent to shield the campstove (and read some trashy mags while watching the kettle boil).



After breakfast we headed out for a gorgeous 3-mile walk along the coast.





The boys took turns carrying the not-so-little (but wonderfully behaved) little boy.







We hope to do a lot more camping this summer as the meterologists predict a warm summer (although hopefully not too warm as England still is a third-world country when it comes to air-conditioning in offices and on public transit, ha ha).
