Hi Qoe, yes yes yes, I can see why I hated camping so much, I will remember this whenever I get the urge to "do the outdoors" thing again.
The best bit of camping for me was retelling (ok with slight embellishment) how awlful it was when I got back. I,m leaving all those early nights and even earlier mornings to those who are jolly good eggs and run the girl guides and scouting events. I am so shallow!! I did enjoy a mobile home holiday once in South of France, just outside of Nice. So maybe there is hope for me to get in touch with my au natural self!
Naej, All I can say is....we "must" hang out!!! I'm not a jolly good egg when I'm sleep deprived, dirty and it takes 4 hours to cook a hamburg on the grill.
