Hi mum,
Last night we spent in a tent, outside in hostmums garden. It was surprisingly warm, comfy and fun! Hostmum gave us two blankets, a tent, some food supplies and a campfire with matches. She set us off and said she would collect us again in the morning!
First we had to find a suitable place and set the tent up. I was not much use at tent building, mostly I got stuck on top of it! Once built, we all popped inside and tested the comfort of it. I was surprised at how cosy and comfy it was.
Next, we had a picnic. Hostmum gave us some elephant shaped crisps, some sweeties and a biscuit each! Whilst we were eating, a furry creature approached us. Little T.B. said it was a lion but I'm sure it was just hostmums cat. It tried to steal some of our snacks and so, we selected Little T.B. to be a guard. Although he did a good job of protecting the food from the cat, he did not do so well at protecting it from himself! He'd eaten most of our breakfast supplies already! We were a little bit annoyed but soon we were all chatting again and I sunbathed for a while.
As darkness fell, we gathered around the fire and told scary stories. I was a bit scared but the others looked after me and told me that none of the stories were true. The warmth from the fire soon made me tired and we went into the tent to sleep. I fell asleep right away and did not wake until the morning sun shone into the tent.
During the night, our lovely fire had gone out. At least it was warm now with the sun beating down on us. Up above the sky was soooo blue and there was not a cloud in sight. I spent some time looking at it before hostmum came out and took us inside.
I'm not sure camping is for me but I'm glad I have it a try. Some parts were more fun than others.
love from Gigi.
