Your son was perfectly camouflaged! Those precious seconds taking in the view of the river are wonderful especially with such a beautiful sunset. Hope the sun shines when you go camping!

My best tip is to make sure you bring a basin and a bar of soap in a case that you can close. They wash hands, face and necks in the basin, brush teeth over it, etc. You can keep it right at the campsite and add some hot water from your kettle to warm it up. Bonus: it catches flies. :)Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6235841642149423068.post-32346920880650672342016-07-30T20:44:01.043+01:002016-07-30T20:44:01.043+01:00Ah!

Purity and I'm rather regretting it now even though the white sweet peas, zinnias and anemones are lovely in a jug they don't sway and dance like a chorus of cosmos. But wait, yesterday I noticed some self-seeders down at the plot - I wonder what colour they will be. (IMHO Sarah Raven's seeds always appear on time and according to the packet description.) What a spectacular view, I love rivers.

Your view of the river is lovely, and the sunset is stunning. Even if the camping has its challenging moments, you will create some very special memories for your family (I speak from experience both as daughter and parent in camping families).
