Actually I've been thinking of offering you our field to camp in if you're ever down this way, it's very beautiful and next to the river teign. No facilities but you're welcome to use our downstairs loo, get water from the outside tap and have a fire. We're half way between Exeter and Okehampton, 10 minutes off the A30.

After a morning full of hearing that my husband accidentally put the cat in the dryer for two minutes I'm very safety conscious.<br />I just noticed you building a campfire right next to the blankets, and I had a sudden concern wash over me - does she have a fire extinguisher for camping? You probably do, so I'll go back to berating my husband and cuddling my cat, who is luckily ok. No signs of overheating.

We went last summer and I was too nervous to climb down with Pip in the baby bjorn at 3 months old. <br /><br />Next time you're nearby Fowey/Polruan, I highly recommend <a href="http://www.botelet.com/home.html" rel="nofollow">Botelet</a> for camping. We've stayed in both yurts (once on our honeymoon) and they also do traditional camping as well. <br /><br />Did you go to the open garden in Polruan, part way up the hill? you can walk down to a beautiful little private beach. so so lovely.<br /><br />Rachel // .thelittlepip.http://www.thelittlepip.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987781614894074408.post-84118660080571797532013-07-25T19:50:43.998-07:002013-07-25T19:50:43.998-07:00If ever there was a perfect blog, it's yours! ...If ever there was a perfect blog, it's yours!
