So, I came back from my camping trip, on the train, choo choo, with my little poppy sprog dog on my lap, watching the scenic English country side pass us by. Lovely! Coming back was almost the nicest part of the mini trip. But all in all it wasn't so bad. Taking Poppy was one of the highlights, our bond grew stronger and she really surprised me how natural she was at the camping life...of course its to be expected of a DOG! But poppy isn't any old dog. She's a little over sensitive but she was just such a total delight to have with me. Also the lonely nights, in the dark tent with nothing to do...I would have been insanely bored if it wasn't for the company of my Little fluffy friend. The weather was extreme, to say the least. Endless rain and crazy howling winds. The odd little sun breaks were when i took advantage to take some pics. Also the whole of Cornwall seemed to be sunny, EXCEPT where we were camping...typical!
So the negatives were... endless wind and rain, cold wet clothes and permanently wet feet, also the bored moments that comes with that sort of weather when your stuck completely out in nature in the middle of nowhere. Although a big part of me was pleased to be returning home when i was on the train, the positives still manage to out weigh the negatives. The gorgeous nights sat in mums tent, rain tapping away on the tent while we cosied up with hot chocolates and great conversations. When my sister, my brother in law and my niece came was the absolute highlight. Loads of bonding time with my niece and i was really sad to leave her behind (I left a few days earlier than everyone else). A gorgeous afternoon on the Cornish cliffs where i saw some of the most stunning clouds in the sky, i was literally breath taken. A delicious BBQ with a little fire to keep us warm, and when it started tipping it down with rain, the hours spent sat in the car to keep warm and dry while my sister delivered me some roasted marshmallows on a stick, with only her face peaking out of her rain gear, slightly resembling Kenny from south park, so cute! The snugly nights and mornings with poppy, keeping each other warm. Very mini adventures and lovely times. I was ready to leave when i did, that night I had hardly any sleep due to crazy wind and rain storms, and I was feeling pretty done in. But as I left on the train I was sad to be leaving everyone behind and missing out on all the extra fun they were having. However, since being home, me and poppy have been appreciating electricity allot more, warmth and my bed! Aaaah, I feel sooo relaxed :) x
