Weekend camping, we went to Axminster and ate at Hugh Furleywhirrlywhatshisname's cafe, mmmmm delicious. Apart from this trip out for lunch on Saturday we didn't leave the campsite, very lazy time making cups of tea, reading and walking a long way to the toilet! Our first outing with new tent, very successful until it came to taking it down in the rain. T now convinced we need a trailer as there no way we can fit 2 children, dog, us and all kit in car to go away in the summer!

T and I went camping again at the weekend, the weather was fab, it was warm and sunny but it was sooo cold at night! Billy was much more settled this time and we didn't have M with us so we went to an 18+ site. I was slightly nervous wondering if it would be like a swingers site but it was very peaceful with out kids and no one asked us for our car keys.
I've been so much better recently but today was a bad day, I'm much more jumpy and Asda was a nightmare. I read a novel over the weekend called Summer of Secrets about a girl with PTSD, it was good, very accurate. I liked her counsellor he was very informative! It's good to be able to concentrate and read again.

outdoor madness

When T and I first met I said I would never camp, today we not only bought a tent but booked ourselves a night at a campsite 5 mins down the road to give said new tent a dry run. (lets hope it is a dry night or it will be a one night stand for me and the tent!)
Not sure what has changed my mind but quiet looking forward to getting out of the house and slowing down a bit.
Work is still a struggle andl I haven't had any ideas of what else I could do, i'm very tired and have gone back to feeling as if I'm walking through treacle. Lets hope the time out in the sun has some relaxing benefits to my poor brain.
