There was also much laughter, chatter, catching up, yawning and sitting in the sunshine. A properly glorious weekend to mark the start of summer.
How perfect and I am v jealous of the big skillet, must now search t'internet in search of my own.
ReplyDeleteYou always make me want to rush out & buy a tent with these posts & pictures. Sounds glorious x
ReplyDeleteIt looks completely idyllic!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures could almost - almost - make me want to go camping. But then I remember all the reasons I'm rubbish in tents, and I stick to houses :-)
wow, I want one of those pancake pans!
ReplyDeleteThat looks wonderful! Not many of our friends are terribly intrepid, so we'd struggle to get such a big group together for camping. Although I reckon with a skillet like that I could bribe them with breakfast...
ReplyDeleteI don't "do" camping either but you have almost converted me... looks like you had loads of fun!
ReplyDeleteI'm green with envy! It all looks brilliant and I'm loving that skillet too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great weekend was had by all - can recommend a couple of nice sites near Henley/Beaconsfield.
ReplyDeleteSome great photos, nice post!
