Camping

On Sunday afternoon, we decided to go camping so we headed into the sand dunes, just 15 minutes away. We also needed to 'bomb' our house for bugs so it was perfect timing. We need to bomb in order to keep the cockroaches and spiders out of the house. Lovely hey?

We arrived and quickly set up camp. We walked Jessie down the beach than came back to start our fire. We had heaps of old shelving and other wooden things we no longer needed so they were used as fire wood.



We began to get dinner ready when we realized we didn't bring a frying pan for our propane stove, so we put dinner into some foil and chucked it on the fire. It turned out great! We drank a bottle of wine, watched the sun set and played some cribbage before retiring to our tent. Jessie didn't really like sleeping in the tent but we couldn't leave her out because of foxes who roam about.



I didn't sleep very well and woke up at 6am as you do camping. Thankfully, we got to see the sunrise and it was beautiful. We walked Jessie again before packing up and heading home. We actually saw a council ranger so we had to run away before he saw us since you are not allowed to have dogs off leash on the beach :)




15 minutes later we were back home. I like camping in the dunes because you feel far away from everything when you're really not.

It was a great night away and good to relax and enjoy each others company without distractions of TV, computers or phones. Hopefully we can do it again soon!
